Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil
Gaiman, an ingenious and captivating reimagining of Rudyard Kipling’s adventure
The Jungle Book that is a glorious meditation on love, loss, survival,
sacrifice, and what it means to truly be alive―one of ten classic Gaiman works
repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene
Yee.
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would have been completely normal if he didn’t live in a sprawling
graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who
belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers
and adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man beneath the
hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange
and terrible menace of the Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will
come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod’s family. . .
By turns macabre, uplifting, sinister, and
heartwarming, Neil Gaiman’s #1 national bestseller―winner of the Carnegie and
Newbury Medals and the Hugo Award―is a “novel of wonder . . . a tale of
unforgettable enchantment” (New York Times Book Review).
