    <body><![CDATA[Neil Gaiman is the king of the creepy kid's book, but this one is less creepy than &quot;Coraline.&quot; I believe I read in an interview (or perhaps on his blog) that he thought adults were much more creeped out by his works than kids are, and I think that's true. Kids will accept that Bod lives with dead people as quickly and easily as Bod does.<br/><br/>I loved the story of Bod and the Graveyard folk and the Jacks, but the story left me wanting more.  I wanted to know MORE about the Jacks in particular, more about Silas—who he really was and why he was really there—and more about what he and Miss Lepscue were doing while they were away. I also wanted to know more about how Bod would get by in the regular world.  I suppose, however, that's a mark of a good book, when it leaves you wanting for more.]]></body>
