Hi. My name is Judie Apt, and I am a first time user of LM-Net. I am currently finishing my certification to be a Media Specialist, by taking a computer class called "Internet Literacy." Part of our assignment was to get on a mailing list and respond to a "posting." Anyway, since I am new to all this, and I don't know what information has already been exchanged about books made into movies, I would like to add that the book MATILDA has also been made into a movie. This is a popular book in the middle school library where I work, and I think Danny DeVito will be great in the role as the father.
