A full cast edition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of New York Times bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman’s modern classic, Coraline.
While exploring her new home, a young girl named Coraline unlocks a door to reveal a hidden passage. Intrigued, she ventures deep into a mysterious mirror realm, a world eerily similar yet darkly different from her own. There another mother and another father greet her, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Before long, the miraculous turns sinister, and Coraline must use her wits and courage to save herself―and the other trapped souls she finds along the way.
Filled with enchantments and terrors alike, this winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker Awards is a dazzling feat of imagination from a modern literary master.

"Originally I intended to read this to my daughters as a before-bed reading. However, since they had already seen the movie, both decided that it was too scary to read before sleeping. So I decided to read it myself. In short, I loved it. Well written, Mr. Gaiman captures the point of view of his main character so well that it could have easily been written by a girl like Coraline. All the characters are incredible, Mr. Gaiman focuses all of his efforts on the protagonist and the antagonist, and the secondary characters are exactly that, secondary. No fill in here, and no unnecessary side stories that detract from the main plot. And las but not least the story is fantastic, creepy and scary and incredibly satisfying. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed."
