Coraline by Neil Gaiman

5.0

---

This deliciously creepy children's tale is lean and precise in its construction and deceptively keen in its prose. It hurtles the helplessly captive and slightly terrified reader through a creepy-crawly nightmare guided by the wonderfully smart and brave Coraline. I so look forward to reading this aloud when my mighty girl has outgrown those more tepid fairytales.
