Susie brought us book 94, with the John Newberry Award winner "The Graveyard Book." Written by Neil Gaiman, a firm supporter in libraries, it tells the story of a book who is raised in a graveyard by the inhabitants found within it.
I think this book at first had our readers wondering as to what the book was about, with a title like "The Graveyard Book." However, after reading it and discussing, I really think that most enjoyed the book, but found it to be a little out there, as in not realistic because of the raising of the child from a graveyard. But, I think it held most becuase of the mystery factored in.
