About this item
The Graveyard Book is a fantasy novel for children and young adults by acclaimed author Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Dave McKean. It is the only book in history to win both the Newbery Medal (USA) and the Carnegie Medal (UK) — the highest honors in children's literature.
Nobody Owens — Bod for short — is a perfectly normal boy, except that he lives in a graveyard, is raised by ghosts, and has a guardian who belongs to neither the living nor the dead. The graveyard holds countless adventures: an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to a city of ghouls, and the terrifying Sleer. But beyond its gates lurks a far greater danger — the man Jack, who has already murdered Bod's family and won't stop until the job is done.
This 10th Anniversary Edition features a foreword by Margaret Atwood, original sketches by illustrator Dave McKean, handwritten manuscript pages, and Neil Gaiman's Newbery acceptance speech — making it the definitive edition of a modern classic.
A must-have for fans of Neil Gaiman books, middle grade fantasy, and gothic adventure stories. Recommended for readers ages 10 and up.
