Allie Finkle's Rules For Girls: The New Girl

I would pick DON'T COOK CINDERELLA by Francesca Simon, JUDY MOODY PREDICTS THE FUTURE by Megan McDonald, and also maybe some of the Horrid Henry titles also by Francesca Simon.

*****

I want THE LIGHTNING THIEF by Rick Riordan, LARKLIGHT by Philip Reeve, GREGOR THE OVERLANDER by Suzanne Collins, and LIONBOY by Zizou Corder turned into movies. I don't know what actors I'd like to see in them.

*****

1.) THE BARCODE TATTOO by Suzanne Weyn
2.) AMONG THE HIDDEN ( series) by Margaret Peterson Haddix
3.) THE GIVER by Lois Lowry
4.) GONE by Michael Grant

*****

I would like to see a lot of Zane books turned into movies, and also Mary B. Morrison books.

*****

P.S. LONGER LETTER LATER by Paula Danziger. I would like to see Noah Cyrus cast as Elizabeth and Anna Sophia Robb cast and Tara Starr.

*****

I would like to see SING ME A DEATH SONG in theaters, and I want to see Mitchel Musso play Jason and Cameron Diaz play his aunt.

*****

THE LAST APPRENTICE by Joseph Delaney, REVENGE OF THE WITCH, and the next 2 after that.

*****

My favorite books are Katie Kazoo, Junie B. Jones, and Flat Stanley series. I would want to see Katie kazoo have one of those worldwind things that she gets randomly.

*****

Fantasia
Life is Not a Fairy Tale
BaracK Obama: We Are One People

*****

Meet Addy: An American Girl
Bluford High: Someone To Love Me
Secrets In The Shawdows.

*****

THE CASE OF THE MISSING MARQUESS, with Anna-Sophia Robb as Enola.

GONE AWAY LAKE, with Josh Hutcherson and Dakota Fanning.

FAIREST by Gail Carson Levine, with Keira Knightley and Leonardo DiCaprio!

*****

LOVE AND OTHER FOUR-LETTER WORDS by Carolyn Macker, starring Avril Lavigne as Sammie, Corbin Bleu as Eli, Emily Osment as Phoebe, and Sarah Clarke as Sammie's mother. I can't think of any other books that are not A) already movies or B) being made as we speak.

*****

I would like ROALD DAHL'S BOOK OF GHOST STORIES, THE SISTERS GRIMM, and one of my favorite Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Super Mysteries called DANGER OVERSEAS made into movies.

*****

I would like to see the first book of the Charlie Bone series, KISS by Jacqueline Wilson and Nick Sharratt, and THE STAR OF KAZAN by Eva Ibbotson made into movies.

*****

I think if the rest of the Series of Unfortunate Events books were made into a movie it would be awesome. I would like the cast to be the same because I thought they did a fantastic job on the first one. I also think if one of the original Nancy Drew books was a movie it would be fantastic. I think this because the HIDDEN STAIRCASE movie was originally put out in the 1930s. I would like to see Emma Roberts play Nancy.

*****

How I Live Now
Pool Boy
Ghetto Girls

*****

I think INGO would make a great movie! I would love to play Sapphy!
Another great one would be GOOSE GIRL! I love this book! And of course, ENNA BURNING, and I would love the play Enna!

*****

BEKA COOPER: TERRIER by Tamora Pierce, with maybe Emma Watson in it?
The Bartimaeus Trilogy with Eddie Murphy as Bartimaeus
THE HERO AND THE CROWN by Robin McKinley with Orlando Bloom as Tor

*****

I think that these three books should be turned into movies:
1) INKHEART
2) INKSPELL
3) The Hardy Boys
