Publisher Description

The bewitching classic children's novel by Neil Gaiman, featuring spellbinding illustrations from Chris Riddell and an exclusive new introduction by the author



'I was enthralled ... a marvellously strange and scary book' Philip Pullman

'A masterpiece' Terry Pratchett



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.



This deliciously creepy, gripping novel is packed with glorious illustrations by Chris Riddell, and is guaranteed to delight and entrance readers of all ages.

Amazing

My favourite book&movie of all time

SebSchofield ,

Brilliant read

“Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.”

This book is both a horror and a fairy tale. A modern day Alice in Wonderland story from Neil Gaiman, Coraline is very well written, and I would recommend it to both adults and children. A fairly short read, but once it gets going you’ll want to keep reading.
