Coraline

I've just started reading Coraline. It's been made into a movie too. Has anyone seen it or read it?

It starts of with a girl named Coraline Joneses who has moved into a building, a very old and big building in fact. Her family didn't own the whole house since it was way too big so instead they owned part of it. There were other people that lived in the house, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible lived in the flat below Coraline's (on the ground floor). Miss Spink and Miss Forcible were both old and round, they once have been actresses, as Miss Spink told Coraline. Above Coraline's flat was another flat and a crazy old man with a big mustache lived there. He told Coraline that he was training a mouse circus, to Coraline, she thought he was making it all up.

Everyday she goes out exploring around the garden. She found a black that watched her but when she tries to come close and play with it, it just runs away. But then one day, it was raining so she wasn't allowed to go outside. Her dad suggested on counting blue things in the house or something like that, so Coraline did. She wanted to go into the drawing room, the drawing room was where they kept the expensive furniture Coraline's grandmother left them. She counted the doors and there was one that was locked, in the drawing room. She asked her mum where it went and her mum said 'Nowhere, dear'. When Coraline's mum unlocked it, there was a brick wall. It was a different flat on the other side of that wall.

That night she stayed awake on her bed. She heard something...A noise. She followed it. It lead her into the drawing room, there was a shadow. It ran into one corner. Coraline turned on the light, but nothing was there just the door that lead to nowhere. She was confused and went back to sleep. She has a dream, with shapes, little black shapes with read eyes and sharp yellow teeth. And a song.

Next morning, she met the crazy man again, 'The mice have a message for you,' he said. 'The message is this. Don't go through the door.' The day was normal.

Next day, he mum was out so she took the key to the door and went into the drawing room. Guess what, she opened the door, although this time there was no brick wall only a dark hallway.

Here's the trailer of Coraline:
