  1. oh dear oh dear. This IS rather upsetting. Felt similar when Everlasting Tuck was made a movie a few years back. I am going to willfully stick my head in the sand and try to ignore it. I didn’t even watch the trailer as it would be too too upsetting.

  2. Too true, turtlebella. I stomped around the house for a couple of hours last night after seeing the trailer, ranting about how, of all authors, how could Katherine Paterson sell out?!? I mean, some authors, yeah, but a two-time Newbery winner. And allow them to turn a several-tissue-box book into an adventure story!

    The outrage!

  3. I didn’t like this book much anyway, though–I much prefer Jacob Have I Loved. English teachers will be so happy to have a movie to show while they grade the final paper.
