The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman
Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place-he's the only living resident of a graveyard. Raised from infancy by the ghosts, werewolves, and other cemetery denizens, Bod has learned the antiquated customs of his guardians' time as well as their timely ghostly teachings-like the ability to Fade.
Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? And then there are things like ghouls that aren't really one thing or the other.
This chilling tale is Neil Gaiman's first full-length novel for middle-grade readers since the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Coraline. Like Coraline, this book is sure to enchant and surprise young readers as well as Neil Gaiman's adult fans.

The BFG
Roald Dahl
Whizzpoppers and snozzcumbers! While a giant who peers into children's windows at night might sound terrifying, Roald Dahl's BFG is anything but. In a land populated by giants like Bonecruncher and Childchewer, he is a lone gentle soul, who adores children - one in particular, his new friend, Sophie. Together they will stand against the giants and rid the land of trogglehumping, once and for all!
Roald Dahl's children's books are famous for not condescending to children, and occasionally being downright delightfully grisly, and the BFG is no exception. But for every description of a bloodthirsty, murderous giant, there is a counter scene of Sophie and the BFG hatching their plan, which even takes them to tea at Buckingham Palace.

Life of Pi
Yann Martel
Life of Pi is a masterful and utterly original novel that is at once the story of a young castaway who faces immeasurable hardships on the high seas, and a meditation on religion, faith, art and life that is as witty as it is profound. Using the threads of all of our best stories, Yann Martel has woven a glorious spiritual adventure that makes us question what it means to be alive, and to believe. In Life of Pi, the question of stories, and of what stories to believe, is front and centre from the beginning, when the author tells us how he was led to the character of Pi Patel and to this novel: in an Indian coffee house, a man told him, “I have a story that will make you believe in God.”

Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury
Nowadays firemen start fires. Fireman Guy Montag loves to rush to a fire and watch books burn up. Then he met a seventeen-year old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid, and a professor who told him of a future where people could think. And Guy Montag knew what he had to do....
In Fahrenheit, Bradbury masterfully depicts the value and existence of beauty amid a grim, dystopian nightmare.
