The Graveyard Book


TitleThe Graveyard Book
Author Neil Gaiman
Call Number PN6727.R85 G73 2014  
Location 1st Floor Graphic Novel
Rating Recommended
Book Review This graphic novel is based off the book of the same title by Gaiman, where an infant boy's family is murdered by a hitman, but the boy has already crawled out the door and finds himself in the local graveyard. The  residing spirits take the boy in, and their local vampire is able to bring provisions for the boy from the physical world. While the young boy ages, the spirits become his mentors and educate him with knowledge from hundreds of years. I enjoyed the graphic novel more than I thought, but I would still prefer reading the book first.
