Coralineby Neil Gaiman
Awards2003 Hugo Award for Best Novella 2003 Nebula Award for Best Novella Powells.com Staff PickThose of you who are tired of waiting for a new Harry Potter
novel might do well to pick up this little gem. Young Coraline finds
a secret passage that leads her to a living nightmare. This book
is scary, but not too scary, a little creepy, and very funny. Kind
of like a good old-fashioned ghost story or fairy tale. The wonderful
illustrations by Dave McKean bring Gaiman's tale vividly to life. Synopses & ReviewsReview:"[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...yet keeps the narrative just this side of terrifying....McKean's scratchy, angular drawings...add an ominous edge that helps ensure this book will be a real bedtime-buster." Publishers Weekly (starred and boxed review)
Review:"Delicate and extraordinary, it reads like Alice in Wonderland crossed with Stephen King..." The Independent (U.K.)
Review:"[D]elightfully creepy....Gaiman proves with Coraline that he is truly a mythmaker." Chris Wyatt, Cinescape.com
Review:"[Neil Gaiman] is, simply put, a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him in any medium." Stephen King
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:"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
