Coraline: The Graphic Novel

Product Information

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) We moved to America. The story, which I had been writing in my own time, between things that people were waiting for, ground to a halt. 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 moves to a new house she is fascinated by the fact that their house is in fact only half a house. Divided into flats years before, the other flat, it soon becomes clear to Coraline, is not quite as cosy and safe as her own. About This Edition ISBN:

( May 2022) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Coraline Jones – Coraline is the 11-year-old main character. She is a young explorer who is curious, intelligent, resourceful, and courageous. Coraline is often irritated by rain, crazy grown-ups (as they all seem to be), and not being taken seriously because of her young age. She is described as being "small for her age". Coraline is overall more polite and pragmatic in the book, whereas she's quite feisty in the movie. Gaiman writes Coraline as a quietly intelligent and observant child, an echo of other British children's book protagonists who make it through their adventures with sensible practicality and independence. On the other hand, Dakota Fanning's portrayal gives a sassier, spunkier take on the character -- her version of Coraline is the type of little girl who frequently exclaims, "Ugh!" and calls the unfortunate Wybie things like "Why-Were-You-Born."

From New York Times best-selling author, Eoin Colfer, comes book eight in the Artemis Fowl series about a teenage criminal mastermind and his siege against dangerous, tech-savvy fairies. Gaiman was the creator/writer of monthly cult DC Comics horror-weird series, Sandman, which won nine Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards. Norman Mailer said of Sandman: "Along with all else, Sandman is a comic strip for intellectuals, and I say it's about time."

Reviews

In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.

It's hard to think of a more iconic visual opening to a film than Coraline's first shots of the Other Mother's spindly, inhuman hands delicately disassembling a voodoo-like rag doll and making it look exactly like the young protagonist. It appears she makes these dolls as a way of luring her targets to the other world. Wybie passes the doll on to Coraline when it shows up on the Pink Palace's doorstep, and she takes it as a mysterious but adorable gift, making it her companion in her adventures around the house. The dolls were invented entirely for the film, and they're a welcome addition that makes a lot of sense for what the movie is trying to achieve. I was looking forward to Coraline, and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book.' Philip Pullman When Coraline steps through a door in her family's new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better). At first, things seem marvelous. The food is better than at home, and the toy box is filled with fluttering wind-up angels and dinosaur skulls that crawl and rattle their teeth.

Mel Jones – Coraline's mother works at her house on the computer. She is very busy most of the time, and sometimes a little inattentive, but she loves and cares about Coraline. She is married to Mr. Jones, Coraline's father. She is pretty, nice, helpful, and outgoing, though Coraline considers her to be rather boring.
