This is the kind of book that every children should read. This inspires bravery, loyalty, endurance, wit, and love on children. This highlights the views of children. How they are as real as that of an adult. This shows that children are smart in their own way. That their opinions are valid and acceptable considering the way they see the world.

Anyone who has read this when they were young and modeled themselves to Coraline must have grown to be  confident and brave people. I'm a bit sad that I wasn't one of those people but the important thing is I read this now. It's never too late to grow. 

I highly recommend this for (other than children) those who are experiencing self-doubt and wants to read an easy book that doesn't directly attack their misgivings.
