For this week's Featured Book, I chose Coraline by Neil Gaiman. This was recently made into a movie, so I decided to read it. Here's what this novel is about:
Coraline moves into an apartment building with her mum and dad who both love work more than her (or so she thinks). She finds her self becoming bored without anything to do and no one to play with. Her neighbors are strange and they always call her Caroline when her name is Coraline. One day, she finds a locked door in her apartment. Her mother opens it for Coraline only to reveal a wall of bricks. The next day while her parents are out, Coraline gets the key to the door and opens it. There she finds a hall which leads her to her "other" mother in a parallel universe. Coraline loves it there and comes back the next day to her "other" mother, until her "other" mother begins to change. She's no longer the nice mother she used to be. She wants to keep Coraline forever. With the help of a cat, Coraline must escape before its too late.
A great, yet somewhat creepy read! I enjoyed it a lot! Keep posted and don't forget to vote in the poll! Coraline is one of them!
