Coraline

by Neil Gaiman

Ages 10–13 Reading age 10 Novel Set in somewhere magical spookyadventurous

Behind a bricked-up door Coraline finds a copy of her flat and a copy of her mother, with buttons for eyes, who does not intend to let her leave.

A story about children and magical creatures, spooky and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 10–13, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Worth knowing before you buy

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
