Her 'other mother' and 'other father' lived in this world, and they have button eyes. At first, Coraline founds everything in this world is better than her real world, but she was horrified by the other mother who wants to button her's eyes. She wants back to her world, and discovered her parents were kidnapped by the 'other mother'. Coraline has to go back to the other world to rescue her parents.
Review
It is a very interesting and scary story. Two identical worlds, with a little twisted, is connected with a magical door. It reminds me of Alice in the Wonderland that two parallel world was connected together. The difference is between them is that the worlds of Coraline is pretty much identical. The other world is just like a mirror or a reflection that are telling readers that we have to treasure of what we have. Also, it is a remind for parents to look up on your children and keep them companion.
