The Graveyard Book
368 pages, 2010
Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place-he's the only living resident of a graveyard. Raised from infancy by the ghosts, werewolves, and other cemetery denizens, Bod has learned the antiquated customs of his guardian's time as well as their timely ghostly teachings-like the ability to Fade.
Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? And then there are things like ghouls that aren't really one thing or the other.
This chilling tale is Neil Gaiman's first full-length novel for middle-grade readers since the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Coraline. Like Coraline, this book is sure to enchant and surprise young readers as well as Neil Gaiman's legion of adult fans.
In The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman shows us how important it is to have a community. The protagonist, Nobody Owens, is raised by ghosts in a graveyard. Despite their differences, they form a unique community that supports and protects him. This teaches us that everyone needs a supportive community, no matter how unconventional it may be.
Gaiman's book encourages us to face our fears. Nobody Owens, despite being surrounded by the supernatural, learns to face his fears and even befriends them. This is a great reminder for us to confront our own fears and not let them control our lives.
The Graveyard Book explores the themes of life and death in a unique way. It shows us that death is a natural part of life and not something to be feared. It also emphasizes the importance of living life to the fullest, as it is fleeting and precious.
Neil Gaiman's book shows us the power of knowledge. Nobody Owens is taught various skills and knowledge by the graveyard's inhabitants. This knowledge helps him survive and overcome challenges. It's a great reminder for us to never stop learning and growing.
The Graveyard Book is a journey of self-discovery for Nobody Owens. As he grows up, he learns about his past, his abilities, and his purpose. This encourages us to embark on our own journey of self-discovery and understand who we truly are.
