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 and 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 and father with black‎-button eyes and papery skin are waiting for Coraline to join them there‎.‎ And they want her to stay with them‎.‎ For ever‎.‎ She knows that if she ventures through that door‎,‎ she may never come back‎.‎
