A new hardcover edition of Neil Gaiman's Newbery and Carnegie Medal-winning novel, The Graveyard Book , as part of the new Harper Classics line. This Harper Classics edition of The Graveyard Book includes the complete original book as well as Neil Gaiman's Newbery acceptance speech; handwritten pages and sketches from The Graveyard Book ; and a reading group guide. It takes a graveyard to raise a child. Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy--an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack--who has already killed Bod's family. The Graveyard Book, a modern classic, is the only work to ever win both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) medals. A New York Times bestseller.
