Nobody is a great read by bookends |
| A quirky, original idea of a young boy who grows up in a graveyard on top of hill. The graveyard is filled with great characters, a witch, a werewolf and a vampire. Gaiman has followed Coraline with a winner, now if only Tim Burton would direct the movie. . . |

Why did this win an award? by MechAngel |
| I did not like this book. The plot was flimsy at best, and it was a boring read. I can't believe this one the Newbery Medal. |

Peculiar graveyard story! by Johann |
| Something different from zombies, vampires and other creatures. It is a light read for 12+ full of adventures and great sense of humor. Highly recommended! |
