Overview:
When Coraline moves to an old house, she feels bored and neglected by her parents. She finds a hidden door with a bricked up passage. During the night, she crosses the passage and finds a parallel world where everybody has buttons instead of eyes, with caring parents and all her dreams coming true.

A long time ago my brother said to me:
"Did you know 45% of adults are afraid of Coraline's mother?"
I realized he was talking about the dumb looking movie, "Coraline"
I thought nothing of it until a few weeks ago my brother said:
"The movie, Coraline is sooo good.
So instead of watching the movie, I decided to read the book.
I picked it up and COULD NOT put it down. So full of action and adventure and fun!!
I love this book and would definitely recommend it to others!!

I thought this book was kinda weird, but good for what it was. It makes sense that the guy that did Nightmare Before Christmas did this as well.
