[LM_NET] Target: YA books that became films and why they're popular

[Sue Rice <evg_aca_sr@NWOCA.ORG>]

Hello all,
Here's the opposite of Toni Koontz's request, books that have been  
turned into films.  I tried to find the list of recent movies from  
books, but it seems as if the February archives are unavailable, and  
I think that's when that discussion appeared.  If anyone has that  
list, please send it to me.   I am presenting a program at a science  
fiction convention called Penguicon in Novi, Michigan in a couple of  
weeks.  The topic is Harry Potter and the Silver screen--  Why are  
all successful fantasy movies based on young adult fiction and what's  
on the horizon?  I have several websites for reference and magazine  
articles as well.   I'd like to present the librarian opinion, since  
this is a different audience than just us librarians.  This  
convention is also for Linux, a computer program language and maybe  
they'll be interested as well!    I will post a hit with my websites  
found and a general summary after the program.  Thanks in advance for  
your assistance!!
