Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman 'a treasure-house of stories' and in this wonderful novel, which has been likened to both Alice in Wonderland and the Narnia Chronicles, we get to see Neil at his storytelling best. Neil Gaiman is the author of many highly imaginative graphic novels and works of fiction for adults. He began working on Coraline over ten years ago and it is his first book for children. Neil is a British author living and working in Minneapolis, USA. As well as writing books, Neil writes screenplays and is working on a film version of Coraline. His new book, Wolves In The Walls, will be published in September.

father, Lindy falls headlong into a state of grief and no longer
understands her place in the world. Through paranormal rituals,

her father beyond the grave - but to no avail. That is until she
receives a 'visit' from Esme, her Victorian ancestor, who reveals
that her family is under a curse that separates them in the
afterlife. Determined to break it, Lindy sacrifices her grip on
reality. Not everyone wants her to succeed and there are secrets
that fight to remain buried alongside the dead that she seeks . . .

choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what
he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be
human.
