Our story starts out when a young lady named Coraline Jones moves into an apartment in an old house with her parents. Her neighbors include two elderly retired actresses and a strange man who lives upstairs and trains mice for a circus act. Despite this weirdness, Coraline is very bored. Her parents work a lot and they tend to just ignore her.

One day, Coraline discovers a door with a brick wall behind it. Seems kind of strange, right? But get this: when she opens the door later, there's a hallway back there like the real fancy movie. Now that's strange. When Coraline goes through the door her mobile ranges with different voice,she ends up in an entirely different world: it's kind of like her own, but something's a little off like murder. In the other world, Coraline has an other mother (the beldam), an other father, and other neighbors. And bonus, cats can talk and the other friends with dreamy behaviors.

Coraline decides this other world is weird (we agree) and so she heads back home to start the day as morning.But when she arrives, her parents are missing: the beldam has kidnapped them, and Coraline will have to go back into the creepy other world to rescue them,she see the busy parents as always.Fast forward a bit: and, spoiler alert, she succeeds! She gets her parents back and, in the meantime, also rescues the trapped souls of three kidnapped children who have been stuck in the other world for a long time. Coraline beats the evil beldam, saves the day, and returns home ,she can experience both in same time.

But wait: it's not quite over. It turns out the other mother's hand has followed Coraline home (it's like Thing on the Addams Family!). Coraline plays one last trick to trap the other mother's hand in a deep well. Phew, finally the scariness is over. After all this excitement, Coraline is ready to start the school year; and boy, is school going to seem really tame by comparison.That new house make her life change even her parents!

After disaster day on school with classmates that behaviors like cow she pulled up to go to neighbors house. These women have a lot of dogs and they always call Coraline "Caroline." That's kind of annoying for her.

The other neighbor is a weird old man who lives upstairs. He has a mouse circus, supposedly, although Coraline thinks he just made it up (he seems to be a little crazy).Coraline explains that she enjoys exploring and she spends a lot of time in the garden at her new home.

When Miss Spink and Miss Forcible warn Coraline about a dangerous well (you know, where water comes from), she of course goes to look for it. they speaks about a new danger or a danger without explanation.suddenly started to rain cats screams and coraline runs away.Coraline keeps herself busy exploring outside for two weeks, but it rains, and she's stuck inside. Bo-ring.Both of her parents work from home, and they tell her to go entertain herself: her father suggests she count random things in the house. Hmmm, okay. So she doesn't want to come back home.

As she's wandering around the house, Coraline finds the magic door that doesn't go anywhere on that time it just has a brick wall behind it.

Her mom comes out and explains that the wall is part of the flat (or apartment) next door. The building used to be one giant house, but now it's a house with a bunch of smaller apartments inside it. Mystery solved.

Coraline notices that her mother doesn't re-lock the door after she's opened it to show Coraline. (No need when there's a brick wall behind it, we guess.)After she goes to bed, Coraline hears a weird scuttling sound in the house; when she looks, she sees a shadow and decides to follow it. (Now we're sure this isn't a good idea.) The next day, it stops raining. Even though it's foggy, Coraline decides to go for a walk.

While she's out, she runs into Miss Forcible, who starts to tell Coraline about her days as an actress. That's all the two roommates ever talk about, really.

Coraline wanders on and comes across the weird old man. Speaking of weird, he tells her the mice have a message for her: "Don't go through the door"

To top off the strangeness, he says the mice call her Coraline instead of Caroline, which is what he thinks her name is. (Wait, then how do the mice know her name? Strange.)

Coraline gets bored again and goes inside; school doesn't start until next week.

What should she do? Well, her mother tells her keep herself occupied; she draws and tries to talk to her dad, but he's busy working.

So she goes out again to visit Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. Now that's a party.

The women, whose full names are April Spink and Miriam Forcible, serve her tea and continue to discuss the theater and their glory days on the stage.

The two women look at the tea leaves and agree that Coraline is in serious danger. Yikes. Coraline is worried and asks them what she should do. Suddenly she trusts these ladies?

Anyway, they tell her to be careful and they give her a stone with a hole in it that's supposed to be a good luck charm.

Coraline goes back home and thinks that maybe danger could be exciting. Maybe. Coraline and her mom go shopping for back-to-school clothes and supplies the next day while her dad heads off to spend the day in London on business.

Coraline really wants her mom to buy her some green gloves, but her mom ignores her and only buys her school uniform clothes, which are all gray and navy.

Finally, Coraline manages to get her mom's house keys and goes into the drawing room, where her family keeps their fancy old furniture. Once she's there, she uses the big black key to unlock the door. You know the one.

But this time, the bricks behind the door are gone. Instead, there's a dark hallway. Strange. Actually, incredibly strange.

We might have run away, but Coraline goes down the hallway, curious as ever. Coraline hears a familiar voice from the kitchen: it sounds like her mom.

Wait, not so fast. In the kitchen, there's a woman who looks like her mom, but she's taller and thinner and definitely paler.

Oh, and she has big black buttons for eyes. So there's that.

Once again, instead of running in the other direction, Coraline asks who she is. Her response? She's Coraline's "other mother." Hmmm.

Apparently Coraline is cool with this, so she goes out to get her other father for lunch.

Coraline finally goes into Miss Forcible and Miss Spink's place, and inside she finds a big theater.

An usher (who happens to be a dog) shows Coraline to her seat. Turns out the rest of the audience members are all dogs, too.

On stage, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible come out and perform a variety act. When it's over, they unzip their entire bodies and step out. Yep, that's right. They step out of their bodies.

Now they are two young women with – wait for it – black button eyes. But first, Coraline has to have black button eyes put in. Um, no thanks!

Coraline decides it's time to head back to her real home.

Her other parents say that they'll see her again soon when she comes back to stay. That's unsettling. For good reason, Coraline is scared as she heads back down the dark passageway.

She finally gets home though.WHEW
