Stephen King for kids, seriously. This is a darkly magical tale spun by master storyteller Neil Gaiman concerning an out-of-place girl who discovers a hidden parallel world too good to be true in her new home. The characters in this novel are eccentrically drawn and the plot is unique and engaging, with truly frightening sequences in the "Other" world Coraline frequents, and an unforgettably menacing and scary villainess. A bone-rattling supernatural fable...just not as a child's bedtime story!
