The Graveyard Book CD

Gaiman, Neil

Overview

<p><P>Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be <i>completely</i> normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack&#8212;who has already killed Bod's family . . . Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his <i>New York Times</i> bestselling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, <i>The Graveyard Book</i> is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.</p><h3>The Washington Post - Mary Quattlebaum</h3><p>The book's power lies in Gaiman's ability to bring to quirky life (pun intended) the graveyard's many denizens, including a protective vampire and a feisty medieval witch. Like a bite of dark Halloween chocolate, this novel proves rich, bittersweet and very satisfying.</p>
