#42: Coraline, by Neil Gaiman
This week was for reading young-person-oriented books for which I've seen the movies. Coraline discovers a sinister secret behind a locked door in her new house. This is one of those stories where the adults are all portrayed as completely useless, so the child-protagonist must save the day on her own.
#43: Howl's Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones
I missed the beginning of this movie when I watched it (it was on TV), but in general it seems the movie changed more than the Coraline movie did. This book has a lot of complexity, with a lot of different threads running through it, but it was still a good fun adventure.
