"Caroline discovered the door a little while after they moved into the house..." (from the first line)

When Coraline steps through a door in her family''s new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better). At first, things seem marvelous. The food is better than at home, and the toy box is filled with fluttering wind-up angels and dinosaur skulls that crawl and rattle their teeth.

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 all the tools she can find if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.

This beloved tale has now become a visual feast. Acclaimed artist P. Craig Russell brings Neil Gaiman''s enchanting nationally bestselling children''s book "Coraline" to new life in this gorgeously illustrated graphic novel adaptation.
 
Annotation:
After moving into a new house with her family, a girl named Coraline discovers a mysterious world hidden behind a locked door. That world echoes Coraline's real life--right down to a woman who claims to be her mother-- but everything in it is somehow off and creepy. When Coraline returns to her own dimension, she is horrified to discover that her parents have been taken prisoner in the parallel world. Determined to rescue her parents, Coraline resolves to battle the evil that lives on the other side of her door. Named one of the Best Children's Books 2002 by Publishers Weekly.

 

Praise
Kirkus
"A magnificently creepy fantasy....Not for the faint-hearted--who are mostly adults anyway--but for the stouthearted kids who love a brush with the sinister. CORALINE is spot on." 06/15/2002

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Gaiman's pacing is superb, and he steers the tension of the tale with a deft and practiced narrative touch. McKean's black-and-white illustrations depict first sunny and then eerie scenes in an old-fashioned style with spidery and elongated lines. Although this is not for the faint of heart, readers who have long coveted a horror story that would play to their most vivid fears will find the unforgettable 'other mother' to be the perfect terrifying villain." - Kate McDowell November 2002
