In Coraline's family's new flat there's a locked door. On the other side is a brick wall--until Coraline unlocks the door . . . and finds a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.

Only different.

The food is better there. Books have pictures that writhe and crawl and shimmer. And there's another mother and father there who want Coraline to be their little girl. They want to change her and keep her with them. . . . Forever.

Coraline is an extraordinary fairy tale/nightmare from the uniquely skewed imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman.

--Orson Scott Card

The 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
Terrifying yet Riveting...

This 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.

This 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
