Coraline by: Neil Gaiman (4)


Coraline is a book about a girl who just moved to a house that is spilt between three 'families'. One is Mr. Bobinskee-he has a circus of mice, and Ms. Forcible and Ms. Spink who used to be acrobats. Coraline feels like her parents never listen to her! Coraline finds a doll that strangely looks just like her. She finds a little doors but when she opens it up there is nothing there but brick wall.

That night Coraline goes back to the little door and there is a passage there. She goes there and finds her same house and everything. Her parents were there too. But something was different about them-they had buttons for eyes. There in that weird little world her parents listen to her.

Later she has to rescue her parents because they were caught bye her other mother so that Coraline would go back to save them. The other mother wants Coraline to stay with her for ever and sew buttons in her eyes. So, they play a game-Coraline has to find the souls of the other kids who have been trapped in that other world and her parents. She finds her parents and the souls.


But the weird thing is that when she gets back home her parents don't remember ANYTHING-being trapped, Coraline saving her-all that. But now for some strange reason her parents listen to her!
