Gaiman, N. (2008). The graveyard book. NY: HarperCollins.

This book is introduced with a “bang.” Right away you see how the graveyard becomes an important part to the plot/storyline; thus relevant to the title. It is at the graveyard where life for Bod begins and where the unimaginable events and fictional ideas/characters evolve: Sleer, ghoul gate, Liza Hempstock, Jacks, etc. The book definitely has a precise plot. The story progresses within a timeframe in which the reader connects with Bod as he is getting older.
