(4) 4-6 Adapted by P. Craig Russell. Illustrated by P. Craig Russell. Gaiman's shivery tale gets the graphic novel treatment. Lured into a parallel world constructed by a nightmarish "other mother," Coraline must rescue trapped children and her parents as she makes her way home. The book's attractively colored panel illustrations are propulsively paced. However, they feel both redundant and reductive when examined alongside the vivid, layered prose of Gaiman's original novel.
