Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Coraline is a really creepy book about a little girl who moves into a new apartment in London. She loves to explore, and one day she decides to count all the doors in her house. She finds 31 doors that open, and 1 door that is locked. So her Mom shows her that there is nothing behind the door but a brick wall. But one night she goes back to the door and opens it. Behind the door she finds a version of her mother and father, but they have button eyes.  In this book there are 2 big symbols: button eyes represent that if Coraline would put them on she would be selling her soul, and because in this book there is a lot about being trapped in/ behind a mirror I think that is a symbol too. I can't say anymore without giving away too much, but this is a pretty quick read and I would recommend it!!
