"The Graveyard" by Neil Gaiman

Rating:  Thumbs Up!

Review: 

      I really enjoyed this book because of the suspense!  I wondered if Bod was really going to escape from Jack.  But more importantly I wanted to know why Jack was so desperate to kill him and why he killed Bod' family.  I have recommended this book to several of my 4th and 5th graders and they seem to really like it too! 
       Just a little bit more... Bod's parents are murdered and he escapes as a baby.  He crawls into a nearby graveyard where a guardian takes care of him. The guardian is not a living being.  Bod is safe in the graveyard but longs to roam among the living.
