No clue why I haven't reviewed this long, long ago. This book was the focus of at least one of my assignments in library school, so I approximated the dates I may have read it based on the date on my paper. 
 I do know that I liked it, 4.5 stars! 
 Here's a booktalk from a paper: 
 Nobody ("Bod") Owens has spent all of his life n a graveyard, surrounded by ghosts. Two of these ghosts are his surrogate parents, some provide him with company, and many of them provide him with the knowledge and wisdom only those long-dead can impart. Yet Bod comes to realize that there is another world outside his graveyard home, and he strives to learn the truth about the man named Jack that murdered his birth parents and sister when he was just 18 months old. Will Bod ever leave his safe and comfortable tomb-home? Will Jack track Bod down to finish the job he started with Bod's family? Grab a copy of The Graveyard Book to find out.
