These books, like those of Tamora Pierce, are wonderful ‘children’s books’ that can inspire young readers to continue to read sci-fi and fantasy.

I Can’t Wait, I Always Loved Those Books.
Great!
As long as they don’t muck it up, this could be done very well. I’ve always loved
these books, and I think they would adapt very well to film. They’re not
particularly long, so they shouldn’t have to change much either. The trick will be
finding the right kid to play Will.
