The day after they moved in,
Coraline went exploring....
Coraline went exploring....
In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.
The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.
Only it's different.
At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

4.75 stars #SummerReading
Sarah U. - 6 years 3 months agoThe only thing I missed from this book was Wybie's story line. I loved his character in the movie and wished it had been a part of the original story. Otherwise, this book is so much fun and just the right amount of creepy. I have quickly become obsessed with Neil Gaiman and am currently making my way through reading every one of his books. #SummerReading

Horrifying yet Riveting...
Nik M. - 6 years 4 months agoThe book unleashed so many ideas about childhood boogymen and closet monsters. It definitely reminded me of how curious I used to be, wanting to know what was behind every single door and window of my home. But, this terrifying and horrific novel showed me that some doors shouldn't be opened. The story is beautifully written, the characters so frightening, and the Other World so dangerously tempting. Fans of horror, thriller, and science fiction will love this spine-chilling tale of something that may only seem childlike. I also loved the way the cover was made :) #summerreading

Terrifying yet Riveting...
Nik M. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book unleashes so many ideas about our childhood boogymen and those monsters behind the closets. It also reminds me of how curious I was as a child, wanting to know what was behind every door and window, no matter the consequences. The book helped me understand that, really, some doors should never be opened. The mood established was so eerie, the characters so frightening, and the Other World so dangerously tempting. Coraline's journey and adventure in the Other World is so captivating I could hardly put the book down. It provides a different yet phenomenal take on horror. I would recommend this to any fans of thriller, horror, and science fiction. #summerreading

Spooky, if you like scary then it’s for you.
Carol C. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book is able to make you think in fear of the disturbing story of Coraline. The story could keep you awake at night hoping that Coraline can escape the grasp of the beldam and the other world behind the door. Though this book is very spooky I enjoyed every part of this story, and I think that anyone could fall in love with the brave story of Coraline. #SummerReading
