Still shaking...

Of his children's novel Coraline, Neil Gaiman writes that he found, once people began to read it, that children experienced it as an adventure, whereas adults thought it nightmarish. I am definitely in the latter camp, and wonder if Kassie is truly ready to read about Coraline, a girl small in stature but certainly not in valour, who stumbles on an alternate reality that is a chilling test of her inner strength.

Of course she triumphs in the end, but still...what a scaaaary story. Shudder! Read it if you dare.
