Imagine opening a door to another dimension. Well, Coraline Jones knows how is feels. When Coraline and her parents moved to a new home she discovered a locked door while exploring on a rainy day. When her mother opened the door, it revealed a brick wall, leaving Coraline disappointed. Coraline's mother went to the store to get some groceries and she went exploring the door again. But, when she opened it, the bricks were gone. She walked down a dark hallway and entered another door. A woman turned to see her. Except for the buttons for eyes and long, white fingers, she looked just like Coraline's mother. The woman called herself Coraline's 'other mother' along with her 'other father'.
When Coraline went outside to explore, she ran into the cat that she met in the old world. He talked and didn't have a name. Every time the two of them tried to explore in the fog, they'd somehow get turned around and end up back at the apartment. When her other parents suggested sewing buttons on Coraline's eyes she went back to her old home, but here parents still weren't back. She ate lunch, ate dinner, and went to bed. When she realized her parents were missing and where they were, she went back through the door and confronted the other parents. The other mother locked Coraline in the new world. She made a deal with the other mother later in the novel and if she won she would let Coraline and her real parents go, if she didn't she would live there forever.
Although this was mostly a graphic novel, it was full of imagination. Every page had great detail and the pictures were amazing. I couldn't stop reading. It's like a comic book, but not as short. I look forward to reading the actual book. This is a must-read for anybody that like graphic novels. It really gets your imagination going throughout the book.
