  The Graveyard Book

  Our hero Bod is raised by ghosts at the local graveyard, after his parents were murdered by a mystery man. But is he in danger too? With both a children's and adults' edition, beautifully illustrated by Chris Riddell and Dave McKean respectively, this is a great read for all ages. Darkly humorous, with Gaiman's usual quirky perspective on life.

  Brought up by ghosts

  Although this book was originally intended for younger teen readers, someone recognised its potential and made it available for adults too (with illustrations by Dave McKean).
  
  A ghost story, a murder mystery and a coming-of-age tale all rolled into one, this amazing book tells the story of Bod, whose entire family are killed when he's just a baby. He escapes to the graveyard and is brought up by a whole host of ghosts and mythical creatures. He's desperate to find out who he is, but will he succeed before the murderer catches up with him too?
