Molly Moon series

It would be ALOT more popular as a movie

She know hypnosis, mind reading, time travel

And she has a really cute pug named Petula

Molly Moon has a series??? I have only read the first if there is

Yeah - I've read them all!  big_smile  I used to love reading Molly Moon - spent the whole summer when I was 9 reading and re-reading the books that were published at the time... I only own one of them now (Molly Moon, Micky Minus and the Mind Machine - yes, the titles aren't the best, but the stories are good  big_smile ), though - the rest were borrowed from the library, or from my friends...

I agree - the books are awesome, and they would make very good films, imo.  smile

Umm... I think all three of those have already been made into movies.

Silverspines is right all three of them have been made into a movie But i think they could've made Eragon a tiny bit more epic looking though

I love re-reading books. Though there were parts in Molly Moon that got me off track like where Rocky announced that he knew hypnotism. oh and how the librarian knew it also. It was not exactly the best plotline

I agree with you on Warriors. I don't read any other books out of school (xD Remind me to get my dad to take me Barnes & Noble surfing for another book), so that's all I have to say.

Eh, read the Harry Potter series. I can read one of the Harry Potter books in one day. I agree with the Warriors though.

Re: What books would you like to see made into a movie and why???

-First off, Eragon was a horrible movie. Sorry, but it was. Books were much better.
-Warriors, while a decent books series, would not make a good live action movie. I could see them doing something animated, but, I don't think they would do a good job of it.
-The percy jackson movie was good IMO, and they won't do a remake so soon after the first. Same with A series of Unfortunate Events.

I would like to see:
Dark Tower Series-Steven King
Artemis Fowl-Eon Colifer
The Wheel of Time Series-Robert Jordan
The HObbit-JR Tolkien
Pendragon-Douglas McAurther

Warriors was not written by Erin Hunter. Fact.

There's a movie of Stormbreaker.

I'd like to see the Dream Merchant (forget author) made into a movie.  That'd be interesting.

Crash by Jerry Spinelli. It would transfer to a book so well.
