The Graveyard Book is an intriguing tale about a boy who, as a toddler, inadvertently, as a result of his family's murders, ends up as a permanent resident of a graveyard where the paranormal residents take him in as one of their own. Over the course of the novel, "Bod" is raised in a sort of limbo as one of the dead and learns his life-lessons in the night. While growing up, Bod has many encounters, night and day with both the living and the dead, the good and the evil, and as a result, he learns about things that frighten even him and challenge him in ways he's never been challenged before.
