** spoiler alert ** 
 This book is one of my all-time favorites and Gaiman is one of my favorite authors. 
 Definitely a fresh(-er?) take on the typical ghost story, centering around a boy, Nobody Owens, being raised by ghosts in a graveyard. Of course, it wouldn't be a complete story without an antagonist, in this case "The man Jack", who, after having killed Bod's entire family is searching for "the boy that got away". 
 The Graveyard Book is beautiful, captivating, exciting. And funny. Definitely worth a recommendation!
