- Coraline
Just like Arrietty, Coraline is an only child who is very bored. Unlike Arrietty, Coraline has just moved and isn't familiar with her surroundings. Both girls, though, are in need of an adventure. If this sounds like it might be up some of your students' alley, check out all things Coraline here. - Esperanza Rising
Another epic tale of a young girl who ends up having to give up her home and the land that she loves. We are sure Arrietty can relate to the events in Esperanza's life and think this might be another story your students would enjoy if you want to continue examining the importance of family and hardships and adventure.
