I feel what most impressed me with Charlotte's Web is the maturity that rests within its simple story. Unafraid to enter into the territory of existentialism to drive its narrative theme forward and rarely is it dumbed down to suit its targeted young demographic; an adult can read this and gain just as much, perhaps even more, from the experience. White prioritises action and direct dialogue to flow its story along, and honestly, it makes for a very easy, entertaining, and engaging experience. Characters manage to show depth and growth through the actions they make and the words they speak, with moral compasses finding that tricky grey area that remains stimulating for readers.
