An irresistibly-brilliant graphic novel adaptation of The Graveyard
Book by Neil Gaiman, adapted by award-winning illustrator P. Craig
Russell. This is the first of two volumes. Nobody Owens, known as
Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't
live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who
belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are
dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard. But it's in the
land of the living that the real danger lurks, for it is there that
the man Jack lives, and he has already killed Bod's family. Each
chapter is illustrated by a different artist, with contributions
from P. Craig Russell, Kevin Nowlan, Tony Harris and Scott Hamptom,
Galen Showman, Jill Thompson and Stephen B. Scott.

simple, moving story from the filmmakers of the eponymous
Oscar-winning film. An elegy on grief. Based on the Academy
Award-winning animated short by the same name, If Anything Happens
I Love You is a young adult graphic novel that follows two parents
as they reckon with the loss of their young daughter, Rose, in a
school shooting. Readers follow Rose from "above" as she watches
her parents slowly break down under the weight and pain of their
loss. Throughout the novel, Rose's soul seeks to help her parents
reconnect. We learn who Rose was and how much life she lived in her
short time. By incorporating a wide range of characters, her
boyfriend, teacher, and her cat, Rose is able to introduce healing
into the lives of the people she left behind. If Anything Happens I
Love You may be a story about loss, but in it we see ourselves-in
the grief, the pain, and, most importantly, in the fight toward
human connection, love, and acceptance.
