The Graveyard Book (Neil Gaiman)

"The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman tells the story of a boy named Nobody Owens, who is raised by ghosts in a graveyard after his family is murdered. As he grows up, he explores themes of identity, belonging, and mortality while navigating the challenges of living among the dead. The graveyard serves as both sanctuary and school, where he learns important life lessons from his spectral guardians. The narrative blends elements of fantasy and coming-of-age, exploring the idea of family in non-traditional forms and the balance between the living and the dead.
