The Graveyard Book

Author: Neil Gaiman

Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. Well, he would be if he didn’t live in a graveyard, raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. Bod has adventures in the graveyard and the world of the living, but it’s in the land of the dead where he’ll face his greatest challenge. Gaiman’s masterful storytelling weaves a tale of wonder, friendship, and courage that will captivate readers of all ages. A haunting yet heartwarming journey through life, death, and the spaces in between.

You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it.
