The Graveyard Book
Cover What's it’s about
Review: Drawing inspiration from Rudyard Kipling’s classic The Jungle Book, Gaiman tells the story of an orphaned boy, raised not in a jungle by animals but in a graveyard by ghosts. Bod, short for nobody, wanders into the graveyard as an infant as his family is dispatched by ‘the man Jack”. In the graveyard, Bod is discovered by the kindly ghosts of Mr. and Mrs. Owens, who entice the other local spirits to take the boy in and grant him the “Freedom of the Graveyard”.

The library system has a lot of copies. You can reserve yourself one.
Ask a librarian to reserve copy for you.
You can go and buy your own copy of the book.
How To Get the Book

When we discuss the books everyone’s ideas are important.
Speak freely, don’t be shy.
No one should be judged on what they say.
How We Discuss the Books
![Page 7: Welcome To GFJ Teen Book Club](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681360a550346895d9d80c5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
www.gfjteenbookclub.wordpress.com This website was made for a few reasons: One, it allows people to be members when
they don’t have time to come to meetings. Second, it allows members to continue to
discuss the books after meetings. Third it give members a place to find out
what is going on in the club.
