Coraline is about a girl who lives in an apartment with her mother and father. One day while Coraline is exploring the apartment building she comes across a door that she unlocks, and finds another world. In this other world there is an exact replica of her apartment building. Coraline's mother and father are also in this other world, but they seem to be different. She soon realizes that her "mother" is not good, so Coraline tries to escape.

I would recommend this book to people who like fiction and adventure books.

I like this book because it is very suspenseful.  I enjoyed it so much that once I started it I could not put it down.  I recommend this book to people who like scary stories.

This book is about a girl named Coraline
who just moved into a new flat, or apartment, that has fourteen doors.  Thirteen of the doors are open, but one is closed and locked.  When Coraline opens the locked door, she finds a solid brick wall inside.   As she looks at the brick wall, a passage appears and through that passage Coraline discovers a new world that seems to be exactly like her old one, but somehow it isn't.   Almost everything in the new world is better, for example the toys and the  food.   One thing isn't better, however. Coraline's new world parents are keeping a secret from her. When Coraline uncovers the secret she tries to escape, but there is no way. To find out what happens, read the story.
