When you think of a Graveyard you think of death, zombies and ghosts. You don't think of a graveyard as a home but could you raise a boy there.
A baby boy appears at the graveyard gates and the ghosts of the graveyard take him in. They name the baby Nobody Owens, Bod for short. The Graveyard find out that Bod's family have been murdered and the boy is in threat so they must keep him safe and raise him only in the graveyard. With the help of the boy's guardian, Silas, who can leave the grave yard and get food for Bod, they raise the child. A story about a how he grows up and the adventures that arise.
I myself didn't overly enjoy the book but it was well written and I think that if you enjoy a quick read that builds character and has a original storyline then you will enjoy it. A good read for adults. 3 Stars.

I loved this book, but I think I agree with you that it is perhaps more for adults. It is perhaps a bit too disjointed for younger readers. The cover however is a brilliant bit of illustration, and worth an extra star alone!
