Bookroo's summary

Coraline discovers a hidden door in her new home, leading to a parallel world eerily like her own. There, a sinister other mother and father want her to stay forever. As Coraline uncovers the dark secrets of this world, she must use her courage and wit to save herself and other trapped children. Will she find a way back to her ordinary life, or be changed forever? This chilling tale of bravery and cleverness will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

From the publisher

When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous. But there’s another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life. Celebrating ten years of Neil Gaiman’s first modern classic for young readers, this edition is enriched with a brand-new foreword from the author, a reader’s guide, and more.
