The Graveyard Book
by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author), Dave McKean
by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author), Dave McKean
This has been my "fall asleep" book for about a week. While it could have been easily devoured in a single sitting - I am glad that I was able to enjoy it over many nights.
A twist on the "Jungle Book" a young boy is raised by the inhabitants of an English graveyard. The chapters tell the adventures of Nobody "Bod" Owens as he grows from a toddler until his teens. Each chapter stands alone as a short story, but they weave together well to tell the story of Bods first 15 years.
It was a great read for both adults and older children alike.
