Coraline Graphic Novel
Coraline Graphic Novel
Gaiman, Neil
The best-selling book is now a stunning graphic novel!
When Coraline steps through a door in her family’s new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better). At first, things seem marvelous. The food is better than at home, and the toy box is filled with fluttering wind-up angels and dinosaur skulls that crawl and rattle their teeth.
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 wits and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.
This beloved tale has now become a visual feast. Acclaimed artist P. Craig Russell brings Neil Gaiman’s enchanting nationally best-selling children’s book Coraline to new life in this gorgeously illustrated graphic novel adaptation.
Praise for Coraline:
“Kids will hang on every word. Coraline is a character with whom they will surely identify, and they will love being frightened out of their shoes. This is just right for all those requests for a scary book.”
- School Library Journal (starred review)
“A magnificently creepy story…shows a sure sense of a child’s fears-and a child’s ability to overcome those fears…deliciously eerie…for stouthearted kids who love a brush with the sinister, Coraline is spot on.”
- Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“Not since four English schoolchildren walked through a wardrobe and discovered the magical land of Narnia has the simple act of opening a door unlocked such a fantastic journey. And not since Alice tumbled down the rabbit hole has that journey been so splendidly strange and frightening…You don’t have to be a kid to appreciate the spell Gaiman casts in the suspenseful Coraline. Walk through the door and you’ll believe in love, magic, and the power of good over evil.”
