WOW. I know Neil Gaiman is a great writer so I was expecting to enjoy this book, but I wasn't expecting to love it so much and so intensely. It was all good but the last two chapters are what brought it up to five stars for me. A lot of it did feel like a story written for kids/young adults (as it was), but it felt like the book grew as the main character grew in such a beautiful way. Also, as someone who loves "spooky season" but does not love horror or gore, this was a perfect level of spooky.
