The Graveyard Book (10th Anniversary Paperback)

"It takes a Graveyard to raise a child... Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither to world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy - an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange & terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack - who has already killed Bod's family. The Graveyard Book, a modern classic, is the only work ever to win both the Newbery (US) & Carnegie (UK) medals." 10th Anniversary Edition paperback by Neil Gaiman with a foreward by Margaret Atwood & illustrations by Dave McKean.
