From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, an ingenious
and captivating reimagining of Rudyard Kipling's adventure The Jungle
Book that is a glorious meditation on love, loss, survival, sacrifice,
and what it means to truly be alive―one of ten classic Gaiman works
repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist
Henry Sene Yee.
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would
have been completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard,
being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who
belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are
dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy--an ancient Indigo Man
beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of
ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer. But if Bod leaves
the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack--who has
already killed Bod's family. . .
By turns macabre, uplifting, sinister, and heartwarming, Neil Gaiman's
#1 national bestseller―winner of the Carnegie and Newbury Medals and
the Hugo Award―is a "novel of wonder . . . a tale of unforgettable
enchantment" (New York Times Book Review).
