From the Back Cover
It Takes a Graveyard to Raise A Child.
Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, wasn't being raised by ghosts, and didn't have a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead.
There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy, and if Bod leaves, he will be in danger from the man Jack--who has already killed Bod's family. Despite the danger, Bod wants to leave the graveyard to attend school with the living and find out more about his family's murder. But when Bod ventures outside the graveyard, he will put more things at risk than he knows.
Each chapter in this adaptation by P. Craig Russell is illustrated by a different luminary from the comic book world, showcasing a variety of styles from a breadth of talent. Together, they bring Neil Gaiman's award-winning, nationally bestselling novel The Graveyard Book to new life in this gorgeously illustrated two-volume graphic novel adaptation.
This volume includes Chapter Six through the end of the book.
