January Staff Picks

Juli's Pick
The Graveyard Book
By: Neil Gaiman
PZ 7 .G1273 GRA 2008
"This suspenseful novel by the author of Coraline tells the story of Nobody, Nobody Owens, or Bod for short. It's a fun and intriguing tale about a toddler who survives the slaughter of his family only to be raised in a cemetery by ghosts. Gaiman's imaginative story reminds us many things: family, trust, respect, and acceptance. Don't let the lessons spoil the fun read though! Enjoy following Bod grow up and see if you're left wanting more!"
