Description Title: THE GRAVEYARD BOOK
Author: Neil Gaiman

Summary: After his family has been brutally murdered, the boy Nobody Owens aka Bod grows up on a graveyard, raised by its charming but very dead society. - The Graveyard Book is written for children of less than ten years, but also as an adult I loved every page of this book! Its cute and full of this kind of (light) black humour, that I enjoy so much.

On the illustration you see Bod talking with my favourite character, THE SLEER. Since thousends of years, THE SLEER is waiting for the return of its master: It intends to imprison its master into a wall and keep it save from the world forever :cute: ...

Actually, Bod couldn't see THE SLEER before the end, but there were bits of description. My portrait isn't completely canon, but I cannot get ride of the image of a three-headed dragonlike creature with huge ears and beards and expressive skull-eyes.

Thanks ... dunno if it is a school uniform tough. I just wanted to draw him in grave and serious clothes, since he is living on a graveyard. I really like uniforms ... comes probably from having grown up in a country with no school uniform. It makes them special.

I've only read 2.5 books of Neil Gaiman: Neverwhere (I've read it in German at about 10 years ago, don't remember much, except for my favorite character who would have died if he wouldn't have trapped life essence in a object ... very cool ), The Goods Of America (or something like that, but I've given it about after some 100 pages ... interesting idea but somehow pointless. The Shadow-character was meeting lots of Goods and never getting anywhere), and The Graveyard Book. The last one has become one of my favorite YA-books.

You're thinking American Gods. I haven't read that one yet myself. I've read Stardust (which was really cute and the movie, while different, was still really good) and Coraline (Awesome book. I cannot wait to see the movie. Coraline is also YA.) I want to read Neverwhere but haven't been able to find it yet.
