Synopsis Authors
There is something strange about Coraline's new home. It's not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be watching her, nor the signs of danger that Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, her new neighbours, read in the tea leaves. It's the other house - the one behind the old door in the drawing room. Another mother and father with black-button eyes and papery skin are waiting for Coraline to join them there. And they want her to stay with them. For ever. She knows that if she ventures through that door, she may never come back.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Sometimes funny, always creepy, genuinely moving, this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety * Books for Keeps *
I was looking forward to Coraline and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book -- Philip Pullman * Guardian *
If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls, it should be Neil Gaiman. Coraline is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral * Daily Telegraph *

“Fantastic and creepy”

A wonderful book filled with rich and colorful imaginations, at times dark. I would not recommend for the smaller children because it may be a little too creepy for them.

“Witty and sarcastic! ”

This is my first Neil Gaiman book. My sister had to read it for university and it spiked my interest so I picked it up.

Gaiman is so...sarcastic. I guess that's the only way to describe the... More

“100% Wierd and Wonderful”

This was quite frankly one of the strangest books I have ever read, but at the same time it was one of the best. It's truly amazing how one author can pack so much into such a small novel; from the seemingly... More
