Short review: Bored in her new flat and forgotten and annoyed by her parents, the young Coraline goes exploring and discovers a door that opens into another world, similar to her own but distinctly different. Back in her real world, her parents disppear—and so Coraline must be brave, grow up a little, a defeat the darkness of the world through the door. A fascinating, disturbing, somewhat gruesome, somewhat magical text, Coraline is a truly scary fairy tale in the vein of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I love this book, both the text and the illustrations, and recommend it highly, especially to those who like Gaiman's style.
