The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman

The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman is about Lucy, the only one in her family that actually believes that there are wolves in the walls of her family's home. But, one night, the wolves come out of the walls, forcing her mother, father, brother and Lucy to sleep outside the house. The wolves eat the family's food, watch their tv and play their video games! Eventually, the family decides to move back into their house - in the walls! When they've had enough of living in the walls, they hatch a plan to drive the wolves out. It works, but soon Lucy realizes that something else (and much larger) is inhabiting their walls.

I bought this book for my son and husband to read together. My husband is a big fan of Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean (the illustrator), having read their graphic novels. We all enjoy this book. The illustrations are very cool, and the story is totally engaging, for all ages!
