Coraline

I just finished reading "Coraline" written by Neil Gaiman. "Coraline" is a creepy tale of a little girl who unlocks a door leading to a flat that looks just like hers. At first glance everything seems wonderful. There is delicious food and her bedroom is filled with toys that float around the room... but there is the "other mother" and the "other father" who want Coraline to stay there forever. The other mother then kidnaps, or as Coraline said "grown-up naps", her parents and Coraline has to cleverly win them back and escape. "Coraline" is a book intended for middle schoolers but even so you might have to be careful because the book is rather gothic and creepy. The illustrations drawn by Dave Mckean have a way of making you feel uneasy if you stare at them for too long. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories with suspense and adventure.
