The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman is an intense mystery book. The main character is Bod. He is raised by ghosts because his parents and siblings re murdered by The Man Jack.
Jack is sent to kill Bod's family because.... you have to read the book! His "parents" are Mr. and Mrs. Owens. They're ghosts who where chosen to become Bod's parents because later his mother died, her spirit came to the Owens when they found him. She screamed "My baby!" and the Owens knew they had to take him. His guardian is Silas, who gives him food and water to survive.
Bod is about 1-2 years older every chapter. When Bod is 5, he meets a girl named Scarlet. They get separated because Scarlet moved. Years later, they meet up again.
Scarlet had a dream about him after she saw him, she knew she recognized him!
My favorite part of the book is that the author uses such good description. I loved the whole book! It makes you feel like you're really there!
I recommend this book to anyone who likes intense mystery books. The book turned out differently then I thought.... Either way, I loved the book! It's a bit scary because I listened the the author read the book on the computer. He has a scary English accent. It made the book more scary. I recommend this book to anyone that likes intense, scary, mystery books.

I read the book... Great description!
It's good, but the summary of the book needs more description/detail.
