the graveyard book

this a story of an ordinary boy. except that he lives in a sprawling grave yard , and his adoptive parents are ghosts, and....etc. so he's not normal. he has many adventures, from ghouls to schools (ha! a rhyme. i must be a poet). but soon he must confront the man (or men...) who forced him to live in the graveyard in the first place,  who killed his family, who want to kill him. its a great book,  by neil gaimon. kiwi
