Coraline

Join Coraline and let yourself be transported to the world of fantasy and terror created by the award-winning author Neil Gaiman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, stand up and applaud: Coraline is a masterpiece."
Philip Pullman, The Guardian

The day after moving house, Coraline explores the fourteen doors of her new home. Thirteen can be opened normally, but the fourteenth is closed and bricked up. When she finally manages to open it, Coraline finds a secret passage that leads her to another house so similar to hers that it is chilling.

However, there are certain differences that catch her attention: the food is tastier, the toys are as unknown as they are wonderful, and, above all, there is another mother and another father who want Coraline to stay with them, become their daughter and never leave. Soon Coraline realizes that, behind the mirrors, there are other children who have fallen into the trap. They are like lost souls, and now she is their only hope of salvation. But to rescue them, she will also have to recover her real parents, and thus fulfill the challenge that will allow her to return to her previous life.

Reviews:
"This book will give you chills and fear will creep into your shoes. It has the delicate touch of terror of the best fairy tales and is a masterpiece. After reading it, you will never look at a button the same way again."
Terry Pratchett

"Delicate and extraordinary, it reads like a cross between Alice in Wonderland and Stephen King."
Independent on Sunday

"A magnificent and sinister fantasy; Gaiman shows great knowledge of children's fears and their ability to overcome them."
Kirkus Reviews

"A wonderfully strange and creepy book [...]. Neil Gaiman is too subtle to allude to the supernatural, he is much more mysterious. The dangers are real and part of the richness of this story lies in the fact that it offers many meanings without imposing any [...]."
Philip Pullman, The Guardian

"Gaiman manages to weave an exciting and addictive narrative, halfway between the myths of children's fairy tales and the suspense typical of a horror film. [...] After reading it, we will not look at buttons in the same way and every time we have to open a door we will think twice."
Sandra Pérez, ABC

"Coraline is a worthy heiress of the great heroines of children's literature, but also of the gothic stories of Poe, Lovecraft, etc. Gaiman knows how to invent environments and recreate the necessary atmosphere to scratch and, even at times, make the reader shiver."
Pep Molist, Quadern, El País
