Coraline - first post

I read the book Coraline. It's about a girl called Coraline, who moves to a new house with her mother and father, and she finds a little hidden door in their new drawing room. And one night when she is about to go to bed, she sees something that glides through the long corridor and in to the drawing room. Coraline wanted to know what it was so she followed, turned the lights on and discovered that the little door stood open… but she knew that her mother locked it.

That's the beginning of this little scary and unusual book which is written by Nail Gaiman.

And in just that part I got a little scared.

The personality and characters in this book is very special. We can take Coraline first for an example. She is intelligent, brave and always on her way to discover new things and places. You can get prows from that when read the beginning.

But if we think a little bit of Coralines real parents and her fake parents then? You can find many differences, but so many similarities.  Most of the differences is their appearance but also some personality.

Coralines real parents are not so funny, but her "other parents" is. Her "other parents" are long, pale and tiny, and they've got buttons for eyes. Her real parents don't have that. 

What I have read

A while ago I passed the page 69, and many things have happened until then, many wired and nasty things.

I can start to tell you that Coraline went through the door that she discovered, and find another place.  Not quite a whole new place, it was the same place she had at home, same old house and same rooms and the same garden but there were fog everywhere.  Something was not right.

Her parents where there too, but they weren't the same. They were different… for example, they got big black buttons for eyes, and they were long, tiny and pale, their hands looked a bit like claws too. 

That's a thing that I have thought about, what if you finds a little door or something else that leads you to something new. It could be a thing, a fantasy place or a dream. But think this too, it's not an ordinary thing, place or dream but it's real. And it's not always a good dream that you dream. It could be a nightmare…

And that's what is going to happen with Coraline. Because her "other parents" says that she could stay there forever, there was just one little thing that she had to do. Sewing in buttons for eyes, just like them.

But Coraline didn't want that so she ran away, through the little door and came home.

But she was alone, her real parents wasn't there. They were gone… And there were a message left for her in the mirror that sad: "help us". Maybe it was from her parents? Maybe, maybe not or was it a trap?

What's going to happen?

The next thing that's going too happened is that I think that Coraline gets back to the "other world" to save her parents from her "other bad fake parents". But I don't think that it's going to be easy for Coraline. Her "other parents" are surely going to do something bad and nasty to her. But maybe she finds a friend that will help her, or maybe that friend is bad too? You never know.

But one thing that I know for sure is that Coraline is going to make it, in one way or another because of her braveness and intelligence.
