The Jacks'
Jack is back but as a different person, Mr. Frost.This guy is really smart and trick. First by making good friends with Scarlett and her mother and then inviting her and Bod into Bod's old house. Looking for a way to get a hold of Bod and kill him, Jack and Bod go upstairs by themselves, leaving Scarlett all alone downstairs, to climb up to the old attic where Bod once lived as a baby in a crib. Bod uses his Fade ability and vanishes out of the man Jack's sight. Bod makes it outside, and slams the door, locking the man Jack inside. Do you think Jack would have killed Bod, if he had,t escaped?

Chapter7
I had forgotten all about Scarlet until this chapter.But then remembered that she played a major role earlier in the book,being Bod's first alive friend. She is basically Bod's only friend who is alive. I don't really get the relationship between them now, it seems like they are fighting some and just not getting along good overall, not the same two they use to be and have fun and play together. Do you think the relationship between them now is any different than it was earlier in the book?

Chapter 6: Bod goes to school
In chapter six Bod leaves the graveyard, a safe place, and goes to a public school. While he is in, he is talked into making a stand to the bullies. When he does make a stand, he gets recognized by a lot of kids and seems to be recognized now and known around the school (which Silas didn't want him to do, get recognized). After all the chaos at school, Bod brings two of his friends from school back to the graveyard, they end up running away out of fear. But who wouldn't be scared of a spooky graveyard? And Silas tells Bod to no longer to go to school anymore, ending with Bod running away, once again, and having someone (Silas), to come to the rescue. Do you think Bod will ever learn his lesson on where to go and where not to and not have to rely on other people saving his life?

Chapter 5
Chapter 5 has to be one of my favorite chapters, full of action. Bod is having a normal day when he is starting to figure about the special day that is tomorrow. He is confused about it and no one will tell him exactly what the special day is. He confronts Silas to some extent, he explains it to Bod saying it a dance for the living and dead, but Silas has never done it considering he is neither living or dead. But he does say that the dance is the Danse Macabre, the dance of death. On that day also, is also a special day because the winter flowers that bloom in the graveyard, that only bloom only every 84 years and people pick them and everyone in the town receives one. But who exactly is the lady in gray that rides in on the horse that Bod is so fascinated with and is promised by the lady to be able to ride it sometime?
Chapter 4
Bod meets a friend known as Liza Hempstock who is thought to be a witch by the other ghosts. To Bod, Liza seems to be very nice and friendly. Her and Bod get along very good together an seem to have fun spending time together. I think that Bod may have a crush or strong feelings for her, one example being that Bod makes a tombstone for Liza. Are ghosts really all evil, like people assume them to be or is that just a stereotype they get?

Bod and the graveyard
This book has gotten more interesting, and even more crazy when I thought it couldn't, I mean the kid is being raised by ghosts. Like when he is still human but can still talk and interact with ghosts and humans at the same time and can can travel into tombs, graves, and stuff like that. But this is a fiction book so what do you expect; even though unbelievable, just use your imagination and the book makes more sense. Are you enjoying the book or is it to unrealistic?
The wicked old lady
Miss Lupescu is a mean woman. When Bod first met her she does not strike him as a very fun person to be around. He first knows this because she does not like his name and renames him "boy". Also she tries to teach him lessons with everything he would possibly never need to know. But what he didn't is that her teachings would save his life. After being captured by the ghouls he remembered how to say help in night gaunt. Miss Lupescu didn't turn out to be just some old hag, she was in fact a Hound of God and she heard the call and saved him. Do you think you think Miss Lupescu is actually doing more harm than good to Bod or the other way around?
