'Sometimes funny, always creepy, genuinely moving, this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety.' - 'Books for Keeps'. 'I was looking forward to 'Coraline', and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book.' - Philip Pullman, 'Guardian'. 'If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls, it should be Neil Gaiman. His new novel 'Coraline' is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral.' - 'Daily Telegraph'. Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman 'a treasure-house of stories' and, in this wonderful novel, which has been likened to both 'Alice in Wonderland' and the 'Narnia Chronicles', we get to see Neil at his storytelling best.
