In Coraline’s family’s new flat, there are 21 windows and 14 doors. 13 of the doors open and close.

The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own. Only it’s different.

Review

Coraline Jones has always been an adventurous girl who loves exploring, until one day when she explores a room in the property that her family lives in and is held captive in a parallel world, one where her other parents have eyes made of buttons and cats can talk. Will Coraline be able to escape the sinister world where souls are trapped, prevent herself from becoming an empty shell and save her real parents? This is a thrilling, sinister and fantastical tale of how curiosity may sometimes actually be very dangerous.
