Books similar in theme/mood to "The Thief of Always" now that I refuse to read "Coraline"?

Hi everyone! I'm a 5th grade teacher and our fantasy unit has us use "The Thief of Always" as a read aloud (side note: what an amazing book!!!). I used to pair it with Coraline as a second read aloud because the books matched up so well with themes and mood.

However, now that the news has broken about how much of a garbage human Neil Gaiman is, I don't feel comfortable reading Coraline anymore (sigh). Any other suggestions? Thanks!
