The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

I am so happy to re-read this book again after a year. Once again I realised how much I like the author Neil Gaiman. and his books, Stardust, Anansi Boys, Caroline and American Gods.  The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

The story ‘The Graveyard Book’ is fantastic and it is even scary at times. A very young boy’s entire family is slaughtered and somehow he ends up at the graveyard where the ghosts of those long dead decide to keep and care for him. Since his name is unknown, they named the boy Nobody. And since the ghosts taking care of him had the surname of Owens, he became Nobody Owens or Bod for short.

I loved Bod. I loved the characters in the graveyard. I loved how they all came together to teach Bod, to care for him and to keep him safe.
