Coraline: The Graphic Novel

Product Information

Once, when she was asked where she had gone, Coraline makes up a story about alien abduction that is much more exciting than the mundane reality. When Coraline steps through a door in her family's new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better).

It's hard not to be as taken in as Coraline is when the Other Father sings a delightful song dedicated to her (in the distinctively droll voice of none other than John Linnell of They Might Be Giants) or when a miniature gravy train trundles around the dinner table bearing delicious sauce for her potatoes.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. In 1987, he, his wife, and their three small children moved into a house similar to the one Coraline and her parents share. Rather than changing the name back, Gaiman found himself charmed by the misspelling, and decided to tell the story of a little girl with a peculiar name. For the movie, director Henry Selick moved the action to Oregon, casting American actors in the majority of the roles.

When Coraline moves to a new home, she is fascinated by the fact that the 'house' is really only half a house - it was divided into flats years before. This article includes both the novella (book) and the graphic novel (comic) of Coraline as both describe the same story with relatively little differences.She collects children, whom she loves possessively to the point of eventual destruction, taking their souls so they cannot leave her world and caring for them until they pass away, but wanting to feel their happiness and joy afterwards. The Other Mother's fake world doesn't really fool Coraline for a minute in the book, but she's fairly taken with it in the movie. The dolls were invented entirely for the film, and they're a welcome addition that makes a lot of sense for what the movie is trying to achieve.

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook).However, there are several other books written by Neil Gaiman that compete for the top spot, including Coraline, Stardust, the Sandman series, and The Graveyard Book. He moves freely from one world to the other, and appears to be capable of talking in the Other World. Coraline fights for her parents back, because she wants to leave this place with the Other Mother and go back home.

She loves the movie Coraline and her cousin told her there was a book that is even better than the film.He is well-known for his graphic novel adaptations of Neil Gaiman's Coraline and Sandman: The Dream Hunters, as well as his Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde series.
