Coraline (P.S.)by Neil Gaiman
Awards2003 Hugo Award for Best Novella
2003 Nebula Award for Best Novella Review-A-Day"Coraline is an entertaining, more than competent story....The plot moves at a steady clip, although the first half is stronger due to the excitement of Coraline's discoveries....Children reading Coraline...will be drawn into the story and enjoy its creepy imagery. Things that cause adults to shudder often bring a grin to the lips of a child. It's a fine introduction to Neil Gaiman's fantasy writing, likely to inspire further reading." Bolton, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review) Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.
But there's another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life. Review:"[M]agnificently creepy.... Review:"[A]n electrifyingly creepy tale likely to haunt young readers for many moons....Gaiman twines his taught tale with a menacing tone and crisp prose fraught with memorable imagery..." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Review:"[Neil Gaiman] is, simply put, a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him in any medium." Stephen King Review:"I think this book will nudge Alice in Wonderland out of its niche at last. It is the most splendidly original, weird, and frightening book I have read, and yet full of things children will love." Diana Wynne Jones, author of Dark Lord of Derkholm Review:"This book will send a shiver down your spine, out through your toes, and into a taxi to the airport. It has the delicate horror of the finest fairy tales, and it is a masterpiece." Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series and co-author of Good Omens Review:"This book tells a fascinating and disturbing story that frightened me nearly to death. Unless you want to find yourself hiding under your bed, with your thumb in your mouth, trembling with fear and making terrible noises, I suggest that you step very slowly away from this book and go find another source of amusement, such as investigating an unsolved crime or making a small animal out of yarn." Lemony Snicket, author of The Series of Unfortunate Events Review:"Delicate and extraordinary, it reads like Alice in Wonderland crossed with Stephen King..." The Independent (U.K.) Review:"By turns creepy and funny, bittersweet and playful...can be read quickly and enjoyed deeply." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review Review:"Not since Narnia has the simple act of opening a door unlocked such a fantastic journey. And not since Alice tumbled down the rabbit hole has that journey been so splendidly strange and frightening." USA Today Review:"Inventive, scary, thrilling, and finally affirmative. Readers young and old will find something to startle them." Washington Post Book World Review:"A modern ghost story with all the creepy trimmings....Well done." The New York Times Book Review Review:"Beautifully spooky. Gaiman actually seems to understand the way children think." The Christian Science Monitor Synopsis:When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.
But there's another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life. Synopsis: In Coraline's family's new flat there's a locked door. On the other side is a brick wall—ntil Coraline unlocks the door . . . and finds a passage to another flat in another house just like her own. Only different. The food is better there. Books have pictures that writhe and crawl and shimmer. And there's another mother and father there who want Coraline to be their little girl. They want to change her and keep her with them. . . . Forever. Coraline is an extraordinary fairy tale/nightmare from the uniquely skewed imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman.
