The Graveyard Book. By Neil Gaiman.

 the graveyard book is about a killer named jack who belongs to the jack of all trades, a secret organization that believes that someday there will a child that can live among both the living and the dead, to keep from the organization of dyeing out the jack of all trades has to kill that child before he grows to adulthood. that child just so happened to be Nobody Owens. at lest that's what he is known by once jack kills both of his parents and  his sister. but little ole bud doesn't know any better and his life is spared when he climbs out of the crib and into the graveyard. There Mrs.Owens agrees to take care of him as his parents along with her husband Mr.Owens. and Silas, Who is not living but is not living but isn't dead, is Bod's guardian. Bod meets new friends along the way such as Scarlet, Liza Hempstock, and the Sleer. Scarlet suddenly moves away and is never to be seen away or so they thought when twelve years later she returns and reunites bod with jack thinking that hes safe but when jack and three other Jacks try to kill bod he quickly defeats them smart and resourcefully. after that Silas takes him out to celebrate and then he tells him that he may go free into the world because he is now an adult. all and all i would give this book 4/5 stars it was a good book and very unpredictable but it was quite boring at some parts and who wants to read a boring book? but yes i would recommend the book to anyone who wants to read something new or different.
