Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Being at home got you bored? Are your parents too busy working to spend time with you? What if you could replace them with ‘other’ parents who could love you and play with and feed you? What if they could make your life so interesting that you wouldn’t think of going back? Would you do it? Would you? Would Coraline?

“CORALINE DISCOVERED THE DOOR a little while after they moved into the house.
It was a very old house – it had an attic under the roof and a cellar under the ground and an overgrown garden with huge old trees in it.
Coraline”s family didn’t own all of the house – it was too big for that. Instead they owned part of it.
There were other people who lived in the old house.”

Living below Coraline were Miss Spink and Miss Forcible who warned Coraline that she was in danger, and then there were — the mice. The mice lived there too, or so said the crazy old man who lived in the attic.

The mice also sent a warning to Coraline. “Don’t go through the door.”

Devilishly delicious, disturbing and full of suspense, you might think twice about the next time you go off exploring.
