Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, raised and educated by ghosts. There, living among the dead, Bod discovers that he possesses remarkable magical powers: he can avoid people's notice, scare them, and even invade their dreams.
There are dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard. But it is in the land of the living that the real danger lurks, for it is there that the man Jack lives — and he has sinister plans for Bod…

Quotes

  • Алёна Голубенкоhas quoted2 years ago
    ‘If I change my mind, can I come back here?’
    And then he answered his own question. ‘If I come back, it will be a place, but it won’t be home any longer.’
  • Алёна Голубенкоhas quoted2 years ago
    If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.’
  • Алёна Голубенкоhas quoted2 years ago
    ‘Someone killed my mother and my father and my sister.’
    ‘Yes. Someone did.’
    ‘A man?’
    ‘A man.’
    ‘Which means,’ said Bod, ‘you’re asking the wrong question.’
    Silas raised an eyebrow. ‘How so?’
    ‘Well,’ said Bod. ‘If I go outside in the world, the question isn’t, “Who will keep me safe from him?” ’
    ‘No?’
    ‘No. It’s “Who will keep him safe from me?”
