Bod crawled out of the house where his family had been murdered. He toddled up the hill and into the graveyard. There were two ghosts named Mister Owens and Mistress Owens. The ghost of Bod's mother told them to take care of and protect Bod.

All the ghosts in the graveyard are excited that Bod will be living with them then Bod was given the freedom of the graveyard.The man Jack is livid that he failed his task to kill Bod's whole family including Bod,but he hadn't killed Bod.The man Jack is still alive and out to get Bod.Bod goes on tons of adventures,meets new friends,discovers new species and grows up.Now Bod will find out the adventures of living in a graveyard.
