Coraline lives with her parents in England. Largely ignored, she explores the home and grounds as the hours tick away. The old house used to be one large home; now, it is split into four flats, and some doors now open to brick walls. Or they do most of the time, anyway . . .
One day, Coraline discovers a new world, much like her own, only twisted in both pleasant and terrifying ways. Though tempted, she recognizes that it is but an evil shadow, and must escape. But can she overcome the one standing in her way? She is frightened, but that won't stand in her way. After all, "when you're scared but you still do it anyway, that's brave."
This book is about what it means to be brave. Written for his daughters, I enjoyed this tale of mild horror.
