There is something strange about Coraline&s new home It&s not the mist or the cat that always seems to be watching her nor the signs of danger that Miss Spink & Miss Forcible her new neighbours read in the tea leaves It&s the other house
- the one behind the old door in the drawing room Another mother & father with black-button eyes & papery skin are waiting for Coraline to join them there & they want her to stay with them For ever She knows that if she ventures through that door she may never come back
