Helpful Score: 1
This lovely little novel has everything I love about Neil Gaiman's writing: clear, uncluttered prose; vivid, emotive settings and descriptions; unusual and yet believable characters; dramatic events; and memorable stories. In this book, the protagonist is Coraline (not Caroline), a smart, spunky girl who stands up to an evil presence that resides in her building and tries to pull Coraline into its trap. It's a book for kids and adults who like scary stories where the evil is confronted, not escaped from. And, like most good fiction, in Coraline the protagonist learns something about herself in the confrontation.
