Product Information
Chosen for August by Karen Howlett of Cornflower Books
No apologies for the cliched raptures, but I really couldn't put this book down, the end moved me to tears and the whole thing just gripped me with childlike delight. Set in a graveyard and featuring many ghosts (and their wonderful headstone epitaphs), ghouls and other spooky types, its main character is a real live boy called Bod who is saved from certain death by the occupants of the cemetery and brought up by them and his strange but fascinating guardian, Silas. I need say no more about the plot than that, but though it sounds dark and scary (and parts of it are, though in a good way) it's all done with such warmth, wit and cleverness that it makes for a magical piece. It's beautifully crafted and written with great heart. I absolutely loved it!
