Now a Newbery Award WinnerLast Monday, Neil Gaiman won the John Newbery Medal for his distinguished contribution to children's literature. Gaiman's award-winning title, The Graveyard Book, illustrated by Dave McKean, tells the story of a child named Nobody Owens ('Bod' for short) who is raised in a cemetary by ghosts, werewolves, and other creepy graveyard dwellers.
If the Newbery's not a big enough addition to Gaiman's impressive resume, the movie version of his acclaimed book, Coraline, opens this coming Friday, February 6. Watch the trailer.
