I can’t believe I hadn’t read Coraline before now! It is such a magical, fantastical story with some really quite creepy elements to it too - I think I’d have been terrified reading this as a kid! The story was great, the characters all so intriguing and unique, and I just kept wanting to keep reading. 

I cannot recommend the audiobook version enough. Read by Gaiman himself and complete with some amazing excerpts of music throughout, it was a wonderful experience. 

I absolutely loved reading Coraline and highly recommend to younger and older audiences alike. 5 stars.
