Product description
When a tiny baby escapes a murderer intent on slaying his entire family, who would have thought he would find safety in the local graveyard? Brought up by the cemetery’s resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But the killer is still on his trail, and danger is coming, not from the dead but from the living… Written by Neil Gaiman, author of Coraline, and illustrated by Chris Riddell, this intricate and deliciously creepy Gothic fantasy tells the story of Bod’s life from babyhood to adolescence. Will he survive to be a man?
Winner of the Carnegie Medal 2010 and the ALA Newbery Medal.

on 7 March 2014This book is a really, really good book. It’s about a boy who is actually raised up by ghosts! I think it’s good because of the way the author (Neil Gaiman) showed what he wanted to write in such an interesting way, that the reader is practically glued to the book!! I finished it in 3 days flat! I highly recommend this book for all fiction lovers.

on 3 September 2010i absolutely loved this book, the onlt thing that annoyed me was the fact that the chapters were set up int about 8 30 pages mini stories, which made reading the book in small chunks was difficult

on 4 May 2010This book was very good. I enjoyed it alot. I read it because it is on the Carnegie Shortlist. One of my friends has said it will be a favourite in our School. I can see why as it is apsolutly awsome, and definatly well written
