I have read the book, and I love to request the books to my students. They are great books for kids who have a difficult time finding a book they like. Once they read the first book they usually want to continue with the series. I love that movie producers are turning to kids books for ideas for movies. There are never enough good kid movies. I know in my class when kids see that the movie is coming out they get excited and want to pick up the book to read. I love that it encourages the kids to read more.
