Nobody (Bod) Owens is young boy who lives in a graveyard with both his parents being ghosts. Before living in the graveyard, Bod had a normal life until his true parents were murdered at night time. At the time of the murder, Bod was only 1 years old. That night, Bod crawled out of his cot down the stairs and outside onto the street to avoid getting murdered by the man Jack (the murderer). He crawled all the way to the graveyard where he met ghosts called Mr and Mrs Owens. They raised him for over 13 years. Bod had many adventures within the graveyard as well as making many friends and receiving  the gift of the graveyard.  There was only 1 major rule that Bod had to follow- NEVER LEAVE THE GRAVEYARD! Mr and Mrs Owens (with the help of Silas- a vampire) successful protected Bod from the man who was out to get him, until one day when Bod broke the rule and left the graveyard. From the minute Bod steeped out of the graveyard, his life was endanger. This book was confusing at first but then It was easier to understand. I would recommend this book to someone who likes a interesting fantasy book. I give it a 8/10.
