About this ebook
The bewitching classic children's novel by Neil Gaiman, featuring spellbinding illustrations from Chris Riddell and an exclusive new introduction by the author
'I was enthralled ... a marvellously strange and scary book' Philip Pullman
'A masterpiece' Terry Pratchett
There is something strange about Coraline's new home.
It's not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be watching her, nor the signs of danger that Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, her new neighbours, read in the tea leaves. It's the other house – the one behind the old door in the drawing room.
Another mother and father with black-button eyes and papery skin are waiting for Coraline to join them there. And they want her to stay with them. For ever. She knows that if she ventures through that door, she may never come back.
This deliciously creepy, gripping novel is packed with glorious illustrations by Chris Riddell, and is guaranteed to delight and entrance readers of all ages.

I absolutely love this book. I first saw the film when I was a little too young and I had nightmares for a while... I picked up the book a couple of years later. The book has a much deeper and creepier meaning than the film. I have read this book several times and each time it appears a little different. It's almost as if there is a deep, dark story behind it and you're trying to figure it out. I would recommend this to anyone. To be completely honest: This is my favourite book of all time

Honestly a really great book! I recommend to everybody, although the creepy nature of the book might not be for everybody. A lovely message and great writing style. Just so enjoyable.
