I understand that you may be under the gun to write these adaptations, but my problem here is writing a kids' book to simplify/replace a kids' book, especially "a most beloved book" in the first place.Your Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03428923906456357934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15198700.post-91505720700518815152008-11-25T22:32:00.000-05:002008-11-25T22:32:00.000-05:00i have the original in my stack of books...perhaps...i have the original in my stack of books...perhaps i'll get to it at some point. but since i haven't yet, would you recommend this book for a 9 year old who's quite a capable reader? glad you are back! :)elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846924946399987382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15198700.post-18358517450655570562008-11-19T22:29:00.000-05:002008-11-19T22:29:00.000-05:00I am an author that has written several movie tie-...I am an author that has written several movie tie-ins. I think you should educate yourself on the process of writing movie tie-ins before judging a work. In most cases, the writers and editors are working on EXTREMELY tight deadlines, and with little material. And this one has a double-whammy of being the adaption of a most beloved book.
