The 10th anniversary edition of The Graveyard Book includes a
foreword by Margaret Atwood as well as sketches from the illustrator,
handwritten drafts, and Neil Gaiman's Newbery acceptance speech.
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 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.
The Graveyard Book, a modern classic, is the only work ever to win
both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) medals.
