Coraline

Coraline, the first volume in Neil Gaiman's Untitled series, introduces a young girl who steps through a hidden door in her new home into a parallel world. This contemporary fantasy blends horror, magical realism, and gothic elements as Coraline meets her 'other' mother, a creature with button eyes who offers a seemingly perfect life.

When the mirage turns menacing, Coraline must summon her wits to rescue her real parents and the souls of trapped children, navigating a paranormal realm where nothing is as it seems. Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker Awards, this coming-of-age story is a chilling juvenile fiction classic that appeals to readers across all ages.
