from the author : Neil Gaiman
Coraline moved into an old house with both of her working parents .Coraline , like many children , found her parents unsatisfactory : she dislikes her father's cooking (her father loves to try out new , strange , yet edible recipes ), and she found both of them , who worked with computer-related job , too busy for her .She found life boring , hence , sought for adventure .She also had three very strange neighbours : two retired talkative actresses and one strange old man who claimed that he was training a mouse circus .
One day , she opened a door in her house ,which opened to a brick wall . Curious ,the second time she opened it , however , she found a passage leading to another world with her other parents , who were very kind to her -at first .When she decided to leave the other world , which looked exactly like her own world , she found her parents missing .They were actually being kidnapped by the other mother .After going through two days , living all by herself ,she went back to the other world again , in determination to release them.
The other mother , some kind of button-eyed long-nailed monster enclosed in a human body , refused to give them up except if Coraline won a game in finding her parents' soul and the souls of three of her former captive .WIth the help of a black cat and her strange real neighbours , Coraline searched for them , facing mortal danger and her own demon fear all by herself .But will she success , unknowing that the monster had no intention at all to let her escape .
Coraline is worth-reading . Exciting for adults who loves to read fairy tales still !(like me ..hehe..).The book is suitable for adults as well , since Coraline herself is very mature for her young age .She acts on logic and she knows what needed to be done , whether it frightens her or not , she goes on .Coraline shows us the courage and logic we should have when facing dangers ,and how relating well with other people may save our life .This masterpiece of Neil Gaiman is thrilling and real exciting .
