Synopsis:
When Coraline steps through a door in her family’s new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better). At first, things seem marvelous. The food is better than at home, and the toy box is filled with fluttering wind-up angels and dinosaur skulls that crawl and rattle their teeth.
But there’s another mother there and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and all the tools she can find if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.
This beloved tale has now become a visual feast. Acclaimed artist P. Craig Russell brings Neil Gaiman’s enchanting nationally bestselling children’s book Coraline to new life in this gorgeously illustrated graphic novel adaptation.
Guess who just created another blog… ME!
My name is Cassandra and welcome to THE LITERARY HOE! I know, I know. Why hoe? Well, because I’m a hoe for books and a hoe in real life. Lol. Just kidding, I’m not a hoe, okay?
Anyway, what’s up with this blog? Obviously, BOOK REVIEWS! And that’s the only thing I am focusing on right now. I don’t want to think of other contents yet because it doesn’t really end well for my blog based on experience.
My plans for 2021? As much as I like planning, I know I don’t really follow thru with my own plans. So I’ll just go with the flow for now and see where life takes me.
I guess that is it. If you’re reading this, hope you follow my blog and find my future book reviews informative and/or entertaining. Also, wish me luck that this blog will be active for the rest of the year. Lol
