The cemetery book

Hugo Award 2009 – "Best Novel"

Locus Award 2009 – "Best Novel for Teens"

Kahn Owens is a normal boy.

Or rather, it would be perfectly normal if we overlooked that he lives in a graveyard.

That his upbringing has been taken over by ghosts and that Silas, his enigmatic protector, lives and moves on the edge of the world of the living and the world of the dead, without belonging to either.

In the graveyard, Kahn will experience various adventures.

He will meet the ancient Lulaki Andra.

He will discover the gate that leads to the nightmarish Necropolis and meet the strange and terrifying Servant.

But even outside the cemetery, danger lurks in the face of a man named Jack, the man who murdered Kahn's family and who is now looking to find him as well, to finish his heinous work.

Master and author of The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman adapts Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book with macabre tenderness and intense suspense to create a unique novel about life and death, love, coming of age and, above all, ' all for the family comfort that can be found in the most unlikely places.
