Teen books made into movies
December 29th, 2011 § 4 Comments
Salon published an article asking Teen authors which Teen book should be the next blockbuster film and which Teen film should never have been made: And the next “Tintin” is…
The authors include:
- Sherman Alexie
- M.T. Anderson
- Lois Lowry
- Gregory Maguire
- Maggie Stiefvater
My least favorite is the TV movie made of Madeleine L’Engle’s A Ring of Endless Light. The film had characters of the same names and it took place in the same location as the book, but the story was completely lost. I was so disappointed because this is one of my all-time L’Engle favorites.
What is your favorite Teen book made into a movie or your most disliked?

I loved “Holes”. Both as a book and as a movie. And for me that’s unusual because I usually refuse to see a movie if I’ve read and enjoyed the book. thanks for the post!
The next teen “blockbuster” movies should be Maggie Stiefvater’s wolves series (I don’t think this series has a name; first book is Shiver) or Julie Kagawa’s “Iron Fey” series (first book is Iron King).
Looking so forward to the movies based Maggie Stiefvater’s WOLVES books!
One of my all-time favorite teen books is I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. I could not believe what a dud the movie was.
