Graveyard Book
Nobody Owens lives in the graveyard. Raised by the spirits who dwell there, Bod tries to live as normal a life as possible. He climbs trees, chats with the ghosts and tries to make friends with newcomers (live and dead) to the graveyard (live and dead). Bod knows that he can’t go outside the boundaries of the graveyard where a man named Jack waits to kill him. But the Bod’s world is getting too small for him now and he wonders if the outside world holds answers to his past and hope for his future. Bod’s natural curiosity and innocence lead him on amazing adventures where he makes friends, both from this world and the next. This is an excellent read with a wonderful balance of creepiness and humor.
