Review of 'The graveyard book' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Such a lovely book that takes place in an unusual scenario. I think that's one of the greatest things about this story, it warms us to a graveyard that is raising a boy in odd circumstances. I loved how the characters are named after their tombstones and the strange and mysterious "people" Nob encounters along the way and that will help him defeat the reason why he is hidden in the graveyard.
