Ever been raised by ghosts? Sorry, that’s such a silly question, I mean it’s not possible…or is it? In The Graveyard Book it is possible! But then again it’s a fictional book…but still! You should read it. Read it now!
Bod is a baby when his family is murdered. Bod was also supposed to be murdered, but his curiosity leads him to the nearby graveyard, saving his life! I guess the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” isn’t true anymore. Anyways, after the spirits of the graveyard agree to keep him, Bod is taught their ways along with things he should know. But he’s not fully safe… The man that murdered his family is still out there, and he wants to finish the uncompleted business. He’s looking for Bod.
As time passes by Bod, obviously, grows along with his curiosity which gets him into trouble. The murderer is closer than ever, but will he succeed this time around? Will Bod be able to take him on? Let’s hope so…
