5.0

I love that Neil Gaiman narrates his own books. Coraline steps through a door that supposedly goes nowhere. On the other side she finds her Other Mother and Other Father who want to keep Coraline trapped in this world. Other Mother even goes as far to trap Coraline’s real parents. Coraline must free her parents and other souls so that she can find her way back home.
