Of course we had to put Neil Gaiman on this list! If you loved Coraline, get your hands on a copy of The Graveyard Book ($9) ASAP. In it, you'll find that Nobody (Bod) Owens is a completely normal child. That is, he would be if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts. Although Bod enjoys finding grand adventures in the graveyard, he knows that if he leaves, Jack will come after him — and Jack has already killed Bod's family.
