Coraline By Neil Gaiman

Is a very creepy book. It's a kids book, written for about 4th to 6th grade, I would guess. I finished it this morning. It's a story about a girl who inadvertantly wanders into a parallel world on the other side of her flat, and ends up having to go back to it to save her parents from her "other mother" who has taken them hostage so that Coraline will be her daughter. I thought it was great. Definitely one of the better kids books I've read. Katherine wants me to read the whole thing to her, and I've already started to, but I'm not sure she's ready for such a scary book. It's not gory or anything, just really weird.
