The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.

Well, he would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.

There are lots of dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy-an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer.

But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family. . . .

Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead?
Can he learn to live among the living?
Can Bod evade those who want him dead?
