(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Dave McKean. Coraline passes through a door in the drawing room of her new home to a very similar house with an "other mother" and an "other father." What started out as a world set slightly askew turns nightmarish as Coraline joins the creepy other mother in a game of hide-and-seek for her real parents--winner take all. The danger and the heroine are convincing; the whirlwind denouement will leave readers bemused but elated and slightly breathless.
