Book-to-Movie Chat Recap

Last Saturday, we hosted lively chat about book-to-movie adaptations. Boy, STACKS users are way passionate about books and movies . . . We covered a lot in just one hour! (Okay, we ran a teensy bit longer than scheduled.) Read the transcript to find out what other kids thought of the movies and books listed below.

Movies/Books Mentioned During the Chat:

• Call of the Wild
• Chronicles of Narnia
• City of Ember
• Coraline
• Ella Enchanted
• The Golden Compass
• Harry Potter (of course)
• Holes
• Howl's Moving Castle
• Hunger Games
• Inkheart
• A Little Princess
• Lord of the Rings
• Never Ending Story
• Percy Jackson and the Olympians
• The Secret Garden
• Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
• Thief Lord
• Twilight
• The Wizard of Oz

Kids also thought that these books should be made into movies (take note, Hollywood!). Which book or series do you think should be made into a movie first?

Discuss the results in the comments!

Here's the link to the chat transcript again — and mark you calendars! The next live chat will be on Saturday, April 11, 4-5 p.m. ET (1-2 p.m. PT). The topic (by popular demand) is BEING GREEN! We'll be posting more info about it soon!
