Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Reading this moves like a chain of small, eerie vignettes: lively openings set up a boy raised in a graveyard and then the narrative alternates between short adventures and quieter, reflective passages. Its useful part is a strong, child-centered mood and highly readable chapters that suit aloud reading and younger audiences. The main limitation is an episodic structure that can feel fragmentary if you prefer sustained plotting or continuous suspense.”
