Summary: Coraline...Not Caroline
Review: Coraline, by Neil Gaiman, is by far one of the absolute most fasinating,intri, and exceptionally weird book I have ever read. From the first page, Neil Gaiman makes Coraline and her surrondings come to life. Coraline is a 12-14 aged girl, and seems to be more of a tomboy, and loves to be different. Everywhere she goes is a place to explore. Coraline and her parents moved into the house, it was an old house. Coraline lived in the middle flat, Mr.Bobo, the crazy old man, lived on the top, and on the bottom were Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. The first time they met, Miss Spink told Coraline that once upon a time, in their time, she and Miss Forcible were famous actresses. The crazy old man upstairs claims to be training a mouse circus, one that send messages to Coraline. One day Coraline's mom shows Coraline the door (for Coralines curiousity) just to reveal red bricks. See, a long time before, when the house was just a house, the door led somewhere, now that there are flats, the wall was simply bricked up. Then late at night Coraline finds the key, and opens the door once more, only to reveal no bricks but a passageway to another world, the other world, where her other parents are, with button eyes, and talking animals. Thats it, I can not let myself spoil anymore of this marvolous story for you. So go run to your nearest bookstore or library and grab a copy, because it's Coraline not caroline.
