Coraline

Oh Gaiman writes amazing stories! This is a quick read and the version I have had some great illustrstions. The story is not one specific type of supernatural charcter, which I love. You can't put it in a particular category. Coraline is a brave explorer girl and faces down some scary things to save people. In the process, she discovers how to appreciate those around her better. Gaiman is like Tim Burton, except it is books, so it is better.
