With the help of a talking black cat, Coraline must be brave and clever enough to outwit her "other mother," rescue her real parents, and return back to her own world. This new world looks very much like Coraline's, but on this side of the hall, her mother has black button eyes and evil intentions. One day, she opens a locked door and finds not the bricked-up entryway she expected but an entirely new passage into another world. Her parents don't seem to pay enough attention, so Coraline takes to exploring on her own. She's terribly bored during her first summer there, and while her unusual neighbors provide a bit of mystery and diversion, Coraline longs for something more. Very quickly, for newbies out there, Coraline has moved to a new flat (British speak for apartment) with her folks. Did you know that HarperCollins is releasing a graphic novel version of "Coraline" this summer? Well now you do! I know lots of you have read Neil Gaiman's "Coraline," perhaps as part of your school's required summer reading program.
