  4. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

    The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman book cover

    Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book is a breathtakingly original reimagining of The Jungle Book, set in a sprawling, historic cemetery. After his family is murdered, a toddler wanders into a graveyard and is adopted by its ghostly residents. Silas, a mysterious figure who is neither dead nor alive, serves as his guardian. Gaiman balances the macabre with deep tenderness, exploring the growth of "Bod" as he learns life lessons from those who have already lost theirs. It is a haunting, atmospheric coming-of-age story that teaches readers that life is for the living, yet death need not be feared.
