Coraline
Neil Gaiman
Characters In the book Coraline there are many different central characters. The main character's name is Coraline and she is a young girl who has just moved into a new house. She shares the house, that is called the pink palace, with three other people: Mrs. Spink, Mrs. Forcible and Mr. Bobo. Coraline, in the book, has mousy brown hair and is around 12 years old. She is very brave for her age and she likes a good adventure.
Summary - Coraline moves into a new house, called the pink palace. - She spends a lot of time alone because her parents are very busy people so she decides to go exploring in the pink palace. - Coraline finds a little door in one of the rooms in her house and she bothers her mother until she gives Coraline the key to the little door. - Coraline opens the door to see that there's just bricks behind it. But at night she opens the door again and there is a hallway. -Coraline goes through the hallway and finds a house that is identical to her own, but she feels something is strange about it. - She finds a woman that look similar to her mother, but she has buttons for eyes! She calls this woman 'The Other Mother' - Coraline, at first thinks the 'other world' is much better, there is lots of good food and everyone is nice. - Soon Coraline realizes that the other world is not as good as it seemed and she wants to leave but when she goes to leave The Other Mother doesn't let her. - Coraline plays a game with The Other Mother to win back the souls of friends and her parents that she found in the other world and to win back her own freedom.
Theme The theme for this book is: 'The grass isn't always greener on the other side'. Coraline thinks at first that the other world is better than the real world but she soon realizes that things in the other world weren't as they seemed. Even though she felt lonely in the real world because her parents were busy constantly she soon realized her real parents were the ones who really loved her.
I recommend this book for anyone who likes good adventure books with a good message.
