Coraline was a quick read. A great Halloween story. It would make a great ghost story around the fire. They are making it into a movie that comes out next year and you can bet I'll go and see it. It looks really good.
Here's a trailer for it.
Enjoy!

thanks, that looks really good.
That looks great! I think I will have to go and check the book out at the library!!
I've never even heard of this book. I'm not a big fan of this kind of animation, but my husband likes it, so who knows?
This looks interesting...can you tell me a little more about it...are the dolls coming to life or something?!!
ok, I want to borrow some of the books from you if you still have them...this one and that Edgar one. by the way, isn't the name edgar kind of ogre-ish? I definately don't like ogres.
Wendy, the basic premise of the book is that this little girl finds a door to another world that is like hers but "better" in some ways. The world is created by the "other mother" to entice Coraline to stay with her. The other mother turns out to be very evil. The book is about how Coraline must escape this other world, save herself and others who have been trapped there by this other mother or the beldam. It's very good.
Thanks, for posting about this great Halloween story. I am going to look out for it!
My husband and oldest daughter LOVE this book! They are both ecstatic about the movie! I loved Nightmare before Xmas--- So this is doubly exciting!!
Ohhhh it sounds COOL!! Now I really want to see the movie!!
Oh man, I have had this on my TBR list forever (shelfari.com) and I am dying to read it. This makes me want to go and buy it!
I can't wait for the movie- so Tim Burton like, with the same director...
