Where it sits

• Universe: Coraline
• Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
• Author: Neil Gaiman

Notes

• Registered as `novella` per its own award categorization (2003 Hugo/2004 Nebula Best Novella wins) -- consistent with its actual ~30,500-word length, squarely within genre-standard novella range, even though it is commonly marketed and shelved as a children's book.
