Default Is the Celestron Nexstar 114 GT suitable for a 10 year old?

I want to get my 10 year old a telescope for her birthday.
I wanted to get one from my local Orion store, but
unfortunately the store near me (walking distance!)
keeps bankers hours, and I can't get there when it's open.

I saw that Costco is selling the Celestron Nexstar 114
for $200 (should have got it when it was on sale earlier
in the year, oh well). While I wasn't really looking for
the GoTo feature, maybe it would be okay.

Is this a really junky scope? I can order on-line
from Orion, but I'd rather be able to buy it today or
tomorrow.
