Summary
Here's a fantastic ghost adventure story, laced with menace and humour.
When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard?
Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him - after all, he is the last remaining member of the family.
A stunningly original novel deftly constructed over eight chapters, featuring every second year of Bod's life, from babyhood to adolescence. Will Bod survive to be a man?

quirky and enjoyable
A quirky and enjoyable 'listen'. It is the sort of book that you wish was the start of a series. I found that I wanted to know 'what happened next' ?

Best Book!
I love Neil Gaiman's books and this one has been fantastic, And is probably one of my favourite books. I loved the character development and the plotline. I could listen to Gaiman read all day.

Fantastic story enjoyable for all ages
Fantastic story and brilliant characters in true Neil Gaiman style, enjoyable from beginning to end with great narration by the author himself. Not just for younger people I’m 51 and loved every minute. Perfect story for All Hallows / Samhain. Lastly there’s one thing I would like to ask of Neil Gaiman, please make a sequel 😊

Listened in my car and although a children’s book it’s a great story for all ages, well worth a listen.

Very good
Really like the story and especially enjoyed Neil’s inimitable narration. The one minor blight was the slightly annoying music that played on for far too long and too loud over the start of each chapter making it hard to hear the story itself.

Truly wonderful
It is a story like no other.
Beautiful and haunting.
It is billed as a book for a younger audience - but this is a story that will grip any heart - no matter the age
