This book is read by the author and the pace is excellent. I enjoyed it and actually thought it was pretty scary. His attention to detail is fantastic.
This is a YA book about a young girl named Coraline, who comes across a mysterious new flat in her building. In this new flat, nearly identical to her own, she meets her "Other Mother" and "Other Father", who seem to only want to love and take care of her. But all is not well. When she returns to her own flat, she finds that her parents are gone. Now she must go back to her "Other Mother" and challenge her to win back her parents.
I loved this sweet and creepy tale about bravery, love, and life.
The narrator, the author, kept an excellent pace throughout the audiobook version of this. I finished it quickly and didn't want to stop listening.
