             Most people enjoy their teachers and have a respect for learning, but not Russel Culver. The Teacher's Funeral, by Richard Peck, is an interesting story about children learning to choose their attitude and work together. Russel Culver's teacher is now dead, and Russel is thrilled to maybe not have school anymore. But, they end up getting a new teacher, Russel's worst nightmare. In the end, she is not as bad after all. Max Thieriot would play the perfect role of Russel.

        Amy and Dan are doing everything they can to save their family members from being hostages. But can they manage to make it alive? A King's Ransom, by Jude Watson, is a book full of adventure and mystery. Amy and Dan are racing against time to find a map that went missing more than a half a century ago. If they do not return the map to Vesper one in four days, one of the hostages will die. Will they succeed? Jayden Smith would be the perfect person to play Atticus Rosenbloom in the movie.

            Dan and Amy Cahill have been waiting for this day to come. The day when everything would change and they would have to watch their backs. The Medusa's Plot, by Gordon Korman, is a story about two Cahill kids "dying" to save seven family members being held hostage. Every time Dan and Amy don't fulfill this task, one of the hostages will get "killed". They need to save their family from the Vespers, or who knows what will happen to them with the world in their hands. I really hope "they" make this book into a movie!
