Also, a series I'm doing with the kids: "All The Wrong Questions" by Lemony Snicket might translate quite well onto screen.
“All The Wrong Questions” by Lemony Snicket”
I think there is a Lemony Snickt movie, perhaps it’s called just that “lemony snicket” and/or “a series of unfortunate events”.
I saw part of it one day, recognized it because my kid had read them.
I may be messing some of this up, but I tell you the 2 children in it were about the most beautiful children I’ve ever seen. A boy and girl, in the 12-15 year old range. They were nearly supernaturally beautiful, it was almost scary.
