Publisher's Summary

Here's a fantastic ghost adventure story, laced with menace and humour.

When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard?

Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him - after all, he is the last remaining member of the family.

A stunningly original novel deftly constructed over eight chapters, featuring every second year of Bod's life, from babyhood to adolescence. Will Bod survive to be a man?

Overall a good story worth listening to.

I loved the story. Good narration. I downloaded it for my 5 year old since it showed up in children's audiobook but it Contains little violence, so instead I ended up listening to it and was not disapointed at all. This story is definitely worth listening to.
Thank you.

A lovely book and an even better narration!

Neil Gaiman does a great job of adding a theatrical element to his story. Made for a great listening session.

Loved it!

A really good book with great characters and thrilling sequences which are narrated with great passion and dedication by Neil Gaiman. A very fast paced book and you'll probably end up listening to all of it in one go. Loved it, recommend it and would also recommend you to have a look at other books by Neil Gaiman too.

Excellent narrative

The storyline was very good. Only reason for missing a star is there seems to unexplained gaps when switching from one chapter to another, not sure if it is audio issue or the book is written like that.
