Coraline

Description

This edition of New York Times bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman's modern classic, Coraline--also an Academy Award-nominated film--is enriched with a foreword from the author, a reader's guide, and more.

"Coraline discovered the door a little while after they moved into the house...."

When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.

But there's another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.

Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.

3.5 stars!

This is a book/movie that I’ve heard about for ages, but I never got around to reading until now. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I actually quite enjoyed it, and if I had read it when I was younger, I definitely would have been super into it. Very “Alice in Wonderland” but in a dark and twisted way. I found it to be very creative and original, and I really loved the message of being brave when you’re scared and doing it anyway...read more

I am one of those unfortunate souls that did not read this book as a child, and I wish I did. I know I would've found it to be truly terrifying at the ripe age of 9. I have seen the movie 100 times since 2009, it is truly one of my all time favorite movies. So going in to this I thought it was verbatim. BOY was I wrong, the book is truly more terrifying than the movie. It is a one of a kind story, and I can't wait till my daughter can read it.

It turned out to be really great story. It even creeped me out some :)
