In June, it was Nancy Drew coming to the silver screen. Last week, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix came to life. Both of these movies came from a series of popular books.
You can find several other movies that started as books at the library. Here are just a few released in recent years. (the first date is the book release, the second the movie)
Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo 2000 and 2005
Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine 1997 and 2004
Flicka (My Friend Flicka) by Mary O'Hara 1941 and 2006
Hoot by Carl Hiaason 2002 and 2006
How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell 1973 and 2006
Holes by Louis Sachar 1998 and 2003
Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (the first 3 books in the series) 1999, 1999, 2000 and 2004
Just remember the book and the movie aren't always the same. Check them both out to see and read for yourself.
