A cast of talented British actors gives voice to this new audio edition of Neil Gaiman’s classic middle-grade novel, just in time for its 20th anniversary. Coraline is bored and looking for an adventure when she opens a mysterious door in her new house that leads to another world—and an Other Mother. Julian Rhind-Tutt’s narration underscores the beautiful writing and eerie atmosphere. Pixie Davies’s Coraline sounds intrepid and brave, even when she’s frightened. Julian Clary offers an excellently sardonic and long-suffering cat voice. And the singing rats are especially creepy. The other actors enliven the characters on both sides of the door who help or hinder Coraline as she works to outwit the Other Mother and save her real parents. It all makes for magical—and scary—listening. J.M.D. 2023 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
A full cast edition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of*New York Times*bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman's modern classic,*Coraline.
While exploring her new home, a young girl named Coraline unlocks a door to reveal a hidden passage. Intrigued, she ventures deep into a mysterious mirror realm, a world eerily similar yet darkly different from her own. There another mother and another father greet her, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Before long, the miraculous turns sinister, and Coraline must use her wits and courage to save herself-and the other trapped souls she finds along the way.
Filled with enchantments and terrors alike, this winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker Awards is a dazzling feat of imagination from a modern literary master.
