Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Coraline and her parents have just moved to a new house. The house is very large and has been divided up into four seperate apartments, so the door in her living room now opens up onto a boarded up wall. One night Coraline opens the door in the middle of the night and finds, instead of a wall, another apartment with another mother and another father. These creepy parents have shiny black buttons sewn on their eyes and want Coraline to stay with them. When she escapes back to her apartment she discovers that the Other Mother has kidnapped her real parents and she must go back over there and use all her cunning to rescue her parents. Coraline is a creepy, pulse pounding ghost story that will have you gripping the book and reading the whole thing in one sitting. Just be sure not to read it alone!

Find this book shelved at Y GAI.
