![]() ![]() And the most important thing is DON'T FORGET TO GET THE MILK. She leaves a really, really long list of what he's got to do. You know what it's like when your mum goes away on a business trip and Dad's in charge. A stunningly original novel deftly constructed over eight chapters, featuring every second year of Bod's life, from babyhood to adolescence. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him - after all, he is the last remaining member of the family. When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard? Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. She knows that if she ventures through that door, she may never come back. Another mother and father with black-button eyes and papery skin are waiting for Coraline to join them there. ![]() ![]() It's the other house - the one behind the old door in the drawing room. 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. There is something strange about Coraline's new home. Neil Gaiman & Chris Riddell 3 Books Collection Box Set ![]()
