So, I don't like to write too much about books because, if I recommend them, I hope that you become interested in reading them and I don't want to spoil it for you. Here is a great, quick read that I recommend. I found The Graveyard Book on a friend's goodreads list when I was looking for a book to put in Joe's Christmas stocking. He really liked it and couldn't wait for me to read it to so we could talk about it. I, too, enjoyed it. There's a bit of mystery to it, though each chapter is supposed to be a story in itself. Considering the title, it is not creepy or a thriller, though there are a few eerie parts. I was intrigued and entertained by all the different levels of life and death, comfort and longing, hope and despair that were illustrated in different characters and scenarios. Go get yourself a copy and hang on to it because you're kids will feel like they've discovered a treasure when they get to reading this.
