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!

why does everyone always use apprevations, improper grammar, and incorrect spelling on these chat rooms, don't get me wrong, i do sometimes, but i am a geek/nerd, and a real stickler on grammer, sorry if you think i am rude/mean
p.s. I love the name of this book is secret, have any of you read the second one, though.
p.p.s.
i also love twilight, though i don't get why people buy the merchandise, when they haven't even read the books, READ THE BOOKS BEFORE YOU BUY THE MERCHANDISE, I have read the last book nine times.
p.p.p.s
sorry for writing some much, i am practicing for the book i am writing, The Make-Shift Detective.
peace, love, and just bee
