Parents Home Homeschool College Resources. Study Guide. By Neil Gaiman. It seems that he would have set this story in the library, but those mean librarians did not allow him to do so: […] librarians tell me never to tell this story, and especially never to paint myself as a feral child who was raised by librarians; they tell me people will misinterpret my story and use it as an excuse to use their libraries as free day care for their children.
Here's what you should do: Find the ghoul gate there is one in every graveyard. Chapter 3 of The Graveyard Book says that the ghoul gate the place where ghouls move between earth and Hell is "waterstained and bulging, with cracked stone, scraggly grass or rank weeds about it, and a feeling, when you reach it, of abandonment. Even if you can't talk to the ghosts in the graveyard, try to learn their stories from their headstones.
Check out the dates of their birth and death. See if you can find their family members in the graveyard. Read the inscription on the gravestone to get clues about their life and death.

This book is the first ever to make me cry, not only was this book written amazingly but it does a great job taking you to the place. I do love this book and all the characters.
I enjoyed this book immensely, I love Gaimans writing style and he really wrote a story worth reading. I just wish there was more! I really don't like this book; the plot was unfollowable and there wasn't enough character development to make up for it, though I read it all and have to confess that the end was nice. Great story that can be read by all ages. I have read it quite a few times and always cry at the end!
Worth reading. I liked the style and the different types of talks between the ghosts. Overall it was a good book and you should give it a try. Amazing book. Kept me up for a while. Suiting both adults and children. Great book very interesting in many ways and makes me want to read on.
I am reading this book in my high school and my teacher enjoys it as much as we do! I think this book is great for children and adults and has a great storyline which makes me never want to put the book down. Excellent book. I actually took this book on holiday a year or two back, it's one of those books, a bit like Harry Potter, that can be enjoyed by adults as well as children. Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones.

And at least in contemporary terms, Coraline has become one of those classic-y things with awards and all. I love the idea of children reading it, because they pay so much attention to whatever they read. With Coraline I may have gotten kids scared of buttons, and with The Graveyard Book I hope they are no longer scared of graveyards and such. Since much of your story is about Bod — short for Nobody — becoming somebody who is ready to leave the graveyard and go out into the world, is Bod also short for Somebody?
About the name: I love that Bod is contained in the word body. With computers, you can look at every instance that the word nobody is being used, so I could go through the entire book and see how and where I used the word nobody.
Where does The Graveyard Book fall within this interest of yours? What would I like people to believe? There is nothing to be scared about from anyone who is dead. In our world, walking through the graveyard is never a bad thing to do because of the dead.
