From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, an ingenious and captivating reimagining of Rudyard Kipling's adventure The Jungle Book that is a glorious meditation on love, loss, survival, sacrifice, and what it means to truly be alive―one of ten classic Gaiman works repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene Yee. Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would have been completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy--an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack--who has already killed Bod's family. . . By turns macabre, uplifting, sinister, and heartwarming, Neil Gaiman's #1 national bestseller―winner of the Carnegie and Newbury Medals and the Hugo Award―is a "novel of wonder . . . a tale of unforgettable enchantment" (New York Times Book Review).

Et musecirkus, en anden mor, en talende kat og et teater fyldt med hunde. Det er noget af det, du møder i Coraline. Hvis altså du tør følge pigen med det mærkelige navn ind bag den mystiske dør. Ind i en verden, der ved første øjekast ligner virkelighedens, men tag ikke fejl! Coraline er eventyr og gys, som river dig med fra første side. Den moderne klassiker er nu blevet illustreret på fineste vis af den franske illustrator Aurélie Neyret, der fanger stemningen i bogen lige på kornet. Pressen skrev bl.a. om bogen: »Oh, at skulle læse Coraline for første gang! … Her er en glædelig, gysende angelsaksisk fantasi om at stå på egne ben og mærke verden for fuld forældreløs styrke. Et magisk værk!« ***** - Steffen Larsen, Politiken
