Neil Gaiman's enchanting, nationally bestselling children's book Coraline is brought to new life by acclaimed artist P. Craig Russell in this gorgeously illustrated graphic novel adaptation.

When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.

But there's another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.

Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.

Product description

Review

"A virtuoso adaptation...a master of fantastical landscapes, Russell sharpens the realism of his imagery, preserving the humanity of the characters and heightening the horror, even as Gaiman's concise storytelling ratchets up the eeriness." -- Booklist (starred review)

"A deliciously dark graphic adaptation of Gaiman's modern classic...sure to delight established fans and to mesmerize newcomers." -- Kirkus Reviews(starred review)

"This adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel reads as though it were intended for the graphic novel format in the first place.... Russell's illustrations suit the tone of the story perfectly. -- School Library Journal (starred review)

"This graphic novel is as dark, creepy, and brilliant as anything out there." -- Chicago Tribune

This is not a book review but a review of the illustrations. I thougth they do not always convey Coralines emotions properly. But still it is not bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn’t realize this was an illustrated ‘children’s’ book
Reviewed in Canada on 13 January 2024

. . .but it held my interest and I quite enjoyed it! Indeed, Neil Gaiman is again “spot-on” with a tale of an adventuresome young girl who, moving with her parents into a multi-unit apartment building, finds a secret passage to another though eerily similar life. All the characters - the good and the ‘bad,’ are fascinating (their personations depending on which end of the passage you find them is really quite marvelous.

All that said, however, I must offer my greatest praise to P. Craig Russell for his truly wonderful illustrations that served to give “life” to the story itself. This collaboration between author and illustrator is a grand one, and I’m so glad that an ordering “mistake” (on my part) put this colourful and quite delightful book in my hands.
