The Graveyard Book

What can I say? Neil Gaiman is a genius. For the longest time Coraline was my favorite children's book, but has now been replaced. I've read a lot of reviews complaining that it was a series of short stories with just one major ending. To which I say, so what? In a way I felt like Bod himself was telling me the journey of his own life and it made it more personable. I wish there had been a few more stories in it though because I wanted to get to know those characters on a much deeper level, especially Silas.
