After the grisly murder of his entire family, a toddler wanders into a graveyard where the ghosts and other supernatural residents agree to raise him as one of their own.

just what I needed
5 stars
I forgot how much I liked this book. Gaiman claims it is inspired by the Jungle Book, but to me it felt more like Kidnapped, but improved.
The most remarkable thing (other than me sitting down and reading a book on paper for once), was the complete lack of cynicism. That is not a sure thing with Gaiman.

5 stars
That was superb. The opening is quite macabre, but it soon settles down into being The Jungle Book with a graveyard setting -- and it works really well.
The story is enthralling and really quite moving.
