Melanie Tamaki is human--but her parents aren't. They are from Half World, a Limbo between our world and the afterlife, and her father is still there. When her mother disappears, Melanie must follow her to Half World--and neither of them may return alive. Imagine Coraline as filmed by the Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki (Howl's Moving Castle), or Neil Gaiman collaborating with Charles de Lint. Half World is vivid, visceral, unforgettable, a combination of prose and images that will haunt you.

Middle grade? YA? I'm never sure where the line is. This is a pretty traditional story arc of special child -> going into the liminal world -> changing as a person -> changing the world + coming home! Hero-with-a-thousand-faces style.
