Owens gather the toddler into their arms becoming his adoptive parents while the rest of the community helps in other ways to raise and protect the child who decides to be called Nobody Owens. Do they let the man Jack stalking the child finish his task or do they take in the child? Without much more than a moment to spare, they decide to raise him. The resident community of ghosts are stuck with a problem. The Graveyard Book is a fantastical tale about a young boy who as a toddler ambles up to a graveyard after his family is brutally murdered, the killer close on his heels. The artwork for the US edition by Dave McKean are stellar, but I have to say I prefer the British illustration by Chris Riddell seen in the cover to the right. The illustrations in the British children’s edition by Chris Riddell were shortlisted for the Kate Greenway Medal. Published in 2008, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman won numerous accolades including the British Carnegie Medal and the American Newbery Medal in children’s literature along with the Hugo Award and the Locus Award for Best Young Adult Book. Let the world know what I think of my reading explorations.įirst, let’s give props where props are deserved. So I decided I might throw up one of these on occasion.
