Cast your favorite stars in a movie based on your favorite book!So many books I love have been turned into movies: Harry Potter, Hunger Games, The Chronicles of Narnia, Percy Jackson . . . The list could go on and on! And while it’s super-exciting to see how different directors and actors interpret the stories and characters I’ve loved on the page, I can’t help but wonder how things would turn out if someone else played Peeta
, or
Hermione, or even
Grover. That’s why our next
Winter Reading Games event is . . . drumroll, please . . . Dream Cast! Which actors would you choose to play the characters in a movie adaptation of YOUR favorite book?
Right now I’m reading The Lost Hero
.
For Piper, I’d cast Zendaya ColemanCameron Boyce— En-Szu, STACKS Staffer
