![]() ![]() Bod’s presence there brings him into constant contact with the past while preparing him for an uncertain but hopeful future. ![]() The graveyard is a morose place, filled with melancholy and representative of death, yet spirits live on beyond the grave, providing wisdom and companionship while raising questions about the afterlife and how life continues. The key theme in this book is the inherent beauty in both life and death. ![]() However, as the years pass, Bod begins to wonder what lies in the world beyond the gates, waiting to get out, all while dark forces gather in the shadows, waiting for their chance to break in. The ghosts of the graveyard, along with a mysterious benefactor, keep young Nobody, now known as “Bod”, safe from the horrors that wait for him outside the graveyard. Young Nobody is just a baby when his family is murdered by a mysterious stranger, and while he narrowly avoids the same fate he winds up in the most unexpected of safe havens-a graveyard. Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book is the remarkable tale of Nobody Owens, the boy raised by ghosts. ![]()
