Kreepy Kids Klassic
It’s Neil Gaiman. ‘Nuff said. Nevertheless, I’ll say a little more. Coraline is a spooky modern fairy tale that addresses “benign” parental neglect, the allure—as well as the horror—of imagination, self-reliance, ingenuity, and bravery. I also wonder whether the story is implying something about being an only child—I still haven’t figured out the significance of the three children Coraline encounters in her adventures. Perhaps if she’d had siblings to engage and entertain her, she wouldn’t have wandered into the Other world? I might need to reread this!

Darkly Adored
Yeah. There's a reason this one's a classic. I first read it as an adult and was immediately drawn back into my youth and the wild imaginings that ensues.

A Children's Classic
I'm glad I watched the movie first so I could have a better visual of everything. It definitely is a spooky but interesting story. I don't know how I would have reacted if I had actually read it as a kid because I don't like stuff like fairy realms (like Spirited Away), but then again, I did like A Series Of Unfortunate Events and Tim Burton.

Fun yet suspenseful
This book really expands the imagination of what is happening in the book from the little illustrations that represents the chapter as you turn the page. I really recommend this book for kids in a lower grade from 5th through middle school to read during spooky season. And if you were wondering there is a movie that goes to the book. Lastly this book gives the message that parents should never take their children for granted and children should never take the life they were given for granted. - happy reading :)

Creative, Original, and Different Children's Story
Eleven-year-old Coraline Jones is incredibly bored in her family's new flat, so off exploring she goes! She unlocks a door to a passageway that leads to another flat. It appears to look exactly like her family's flat in every way. Only everything is better, much better. But all is not as it seems... Coraline is another amazing story from the creative mind of Neil Gaiman. The narration takes you on a creepy ride through the eyes of sweet and inquisitive Coraline. A blend of magical realism, dark fantasy, and things made of nightmares, all wrapped up in a children's story. The characters are creative, the creatures imaginative, and Caroline's journey is epic! What a ride it is! I listened to the audiobook with the full cast production on the recommendation of a Goodreads friend. This version truly does give a theatrical feel to the story and an elevated listening experience. Thanks, Melissa ~ Bantering Books! Coraline could be a bit nightmarish for the younger set, so a read through or quick listen before letting this story loose on them is advised. This could be disturbing for those sensitive kiddos. Mr. Gaiman, you've done it to me again. I'm basking in a puddle of pure joy, right here, right now! 5 Creative-Original-Different Stars!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Little Me's Dreams in Print
Having loved the movie; I thought about reading this for a while. And I will say it's definitely a lot creepier than the movie. And I was surprised to find this in the juvenile section. The creepiest part was definitely the pictures.
