In the body, I thought I would add entire pieces of what was in my sandbox, but when re reading, didn't add everything because I thought the article sounded better than substituting an entire paragraph.

Article body
Coraline is a curious young girl who moves into a new house with her parents. Her parents always seem to be working and don't seem to pay that much attention to Coraline; she is usually bored and often feels alone and ignored.

The house that the family moves into is large and very old; it has been divided into several different apartments where she mets her quirky neighbors. Theres Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, who live underneath Coraline's apartment, and Mr. Bobo, who lives in the apartment above Coraline.

Coraline finds a mysterious, locked, door in her apartment. When asked, Coraline's mother tells her that it goes nowhere. Still curious, Coraline finds the key that opens the door, only to find nothing but a brick wall behind it. One day, Coraline finds herself alone in the apartment; with curiosity eating at her, she opens the door. This time she finds an oddly familiar corridor. On the mother side of this corridor, she is back in her apartment. It's as if she never left; everything in this apartment is the same as her own. Almost. She finds the residents of this "other apartment" to be her mother and father, except they have buttons for eyes. The copy of Coraline's mother introduces herself as Coraline's "Other Mother" and the man is Coraline's "Other Father".

Coraline immediately realizes that this "Other World" is far more interesting that her own. Here, her "parents" pay attention to her, new her button-eyed neighbors Miss. Spink and Miss. Forcible perform wonderful shows on stage every night and Mr. Bobo hosts an amazing jumping mouse circus. She even finds a friend, a mysterious talking black cat that can go in between this world and the real world as he pleases; he is the only one without buttons for eyes.
