Mayor versus Mayor I was walking in a graveyard when I saw a green door. There was also a strange person who said to me, “If you go through that door, something bad will happen.” I didn’t listen. I was a little afraid because I have never seen a green door in a graveyard. The green door was unusually big with a big door knob.

honest, I definitely tired of reading Neil Gaiman works once we got to this novel. We had already read The Graveyard Book, a volume of The Sandman comics, and The Wolves in the Walls. It was one Gaiman work too many and, last year, I did not really enjoy it too much. I really loved The Sandman collection that we read and felt like I liked him more in that medium.
