A word from Devlin DeGuise:

How I wish I could meet the Other Mother. While I love this story, I'm sure readers have hurt this lovely creature by siding with Coraline. I could share how ungrateful I have always found her to be. Then, perhaps, the Other Mother could teach me to sew.

About Coraline by Neil Gaiman:

Join Coraline for her discovery of a strange door that leads into an alternate world.

Strangely, the land seems to be a tantalizing mirror of her own life – only, vastly superior. Everything appears splendid, until she learns that her Other Mother longs to transform Coraline into the ideal child so she can trap her in the increasing dark world forever.

Armed only with her sharp wit and indomitable spirit, Coraline must outsmart the Other Mother to escape her chilling grasp.
