Peter's Reviews > Coraline

Coraline, a young girl, comes into a kind of parallel world when walking through a bricked door. On the other side she meets other parents than her own. Things get scary and complicated when her real parents are missing. Where are they gone? What about the mirror? Coraline get her parents back and what's the role of the black cat and the mouse circus? The author wrote a nice book for kids or early youth. There are also fine illustrations inside. Compliments to the author's imaginary vision and the great ideas. A very unusual haunted house story. Sometimes I was also reminded on Alice in Wonderland. In the end I felt a bit too old for that kind of literature but it was well done. A youth might have given four or five stars...
