after crawling away from the massacre of his family Bod is raised by the spirits in the graveyard.
Review:
Neil Gaiman has done it again. A story that will have you shaking your head and laughing out loud. Written for the younger audience, adults will also enjoy this look at what family means (though it may make them nostalgic for their younger days). A coming of age story that spotlights the letting go of childish things, the prose used are rather moving and (as always with Gaiman) beautiful to read. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys reading stories with a pound of magic and a dash of the macabre.
10/10

“You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it.”
“It's like the people who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.”
“Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.”
