My Favourite Book

My favourite book is Coraline by Neil Gaiman which is published in 2002. I like this book as the story is very interesting and keeps the reader in suspense and wants to continue to read. It is a fantasy story and contains a little adventure in it. It is about Coraline going to the " other world " and meets her other mother who wanted her to stay in the " other world " but Coraline refuses and went back to the real world. When she returned, she found out that her parents were missing and were mostly likely kidnapped by her other mother. Then, she went back and challenged her other mother, saying that if she could find the ghost children’s souls and her parents, her other mother must release her but if she loses, she would have to stay back and let her other mother sew buttons in her eye. With the help of the seeing stone given by Miss Spink, she managed to find the ghost children's soul and as she knew even if she wins, her other mother would still not let her go so she tricked her other mother saying that she knew her parents were behind the little door in the drawing room and when her other mother opens it, she throws the cat at her other mother and took the snow globe, which her parents were in, and escaped to the real world. She then cuts off her other mother's hand by closing the door on it. She knew the other mother's hand would steal the keys so she used the keys to lure the other mother's hand to the well and made it drop in the well. I find that Coraline is very clever, brave and would not give up easily.
