A commemorative edition of a perennial favorite--The Graveyard Book
by Neil Gaiman, which has sold over one million copies and is the only
novel to win both the Newbery Medal and the Carnegie Medal. Special
content in this edition includes the story behind The Graveyard Book
from Neil Gaiman and sketches by Dave McKean.
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 the 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 and terrible
Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the
man Jack--who has already killed Bod's family.*
