• In Coraline’s apartment are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen doors open and one only opens on to a brick wall until the day it leads to another world just like hers only different. There is another mother, another father and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself. The book is even better than the movie.

  • Twelve-year-old Mike (short for Michaela) is inseparable from her brother Red. then one day Red disappears. One minute he is here, the next…gone. No warning. No time to prepare. This is a story that is equal parts mystery, romance and tragedy. It is the story of how the memories of those we have lost can help transform our fears of being alone into a greater appreciation of what remains.
