I had to read the book for my Kiddie Lit class in college...it was a good read, I enjoyed reading it. When I first heard about the movie coming out, I thought I would just wait until it came out on video. Well, wouldn't you know, I was hanging out with other "young adults" from my church and we decided to go see the movie.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie to everyone!!! It was so fun to see how they translated the book into the screenplay, and I especially enjoyed the "Diggin Up" 'rap' at the beginning of the movie and through the credits. It's such a catchy tune...it makes me want to go out and buy the soundtrack!
