« The Graveyard Book is a story that deserves to be told and retold. The tale of Bod, whose parents are murdered and who is raised by the ghosts, ghouls and vampires inhabiting the graveyard where he takes shelter is more than just a spooky tale for children. It’s a story for an age in which many people find that family doesn’t offer the security they need; a story about the strength and love found in friendship, but also about the need for growth and change that means we must sometimes let go of friendship. It’s the kind of tale people tell their children at bedtime. The least we can do to celebrate it is to give the author a prize.
