If you loved the way The Witches balanced playful storytelling with a spine-tingling sense of danger, you'll be captivated by Coraline. When Coraline discovers a hidden door in her new home, she stumbles into a parallel world that's both enchanting and increasingly disturbing, especially when she meets her sinister 'Other Mother.' Like Roald Dahl, Neil Gaiman weaves a darkly magical atmosphere that is both thrilling and unsettling.
Did the quirky humor and wild storytelling in The Witches make you smile? In Fortunately, the Milk, a father’s simple errand to buy milk spirals into a hilarious adventure involving time travel, aliens, and pirates. Gaiman’s witty narration and absurd situations echo the playful, clever humor that makes Dahl’s work so memorable.

Like Dahl’s hero, Masha combines intelligence and resilience to navigate dark magic and outwit dangerous foes.
If the mysterious, undefined magic in The Witches drew you in, you'll be enchanted by The Girl Who Drank the Moon. Magic flows through this story in unpredictable ways, from a swamp monster who loves poetry to a little girl accidentally imbued with extraordinary power. The world feels magical not because of rules, but because of wonder and possibility.
