Coraline
by Neil Gaiman (2002)
Ooooo, spooooky... a little ghost story, clever and imaginative and humorous in the expected excellence of Gaiman's style. A girl in a big house with quirky neighbors and a mysterious door to nowhere...
Did you ever read "Good Omens: The Nice and Acurate Prophesies of Agnes Nutter, Witch"? HILARIOUS! (Neil Gaimon was one of the authors) Not a kid's book but certainly laugh out loud funny.
I *totally* loved this book and found it really scary. Then my kids read it and found it only somewhat scary. Maybe it's because it's almost like a nightmare; it really is more psychological than physical.
Our student book reviewers would love to hear from you! Did you read this book too? Like it, love it, or left it? Are there similar books you think they might enjoy? What is your favorite book of all time? Thank you.

ReplyDeleteHey, TeacherDad. First off, thanks for stopping by my blog! (Ages ago, I know - I've been lax in following up on my comments)
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at Coraline for awhile now. Seems like it should be a great read, Gaiman-fashion.
