This is the story of Nobody Owens who escapes the murder of his family while still a toddler and wanders into the local graveyard where he is bought up by the ghosts who inhabit it. This is an easy to read book about a boy with a truly magical childhood who learns, despite living in the midst of death, the value of living. I recommend this story for readers of all ages, but especially for young teens and is probably one of the best of this age group novels I've read since Charmed Life (Collins Modern Classics) and Harriet the Spy.
