Welcome to our 153rd Road Trip Wednesday!

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link - or, if you prefer, you can include your answer in the comments.

This Week's Topic is: It isn't surprising that this month's Bookmobile selection, Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone, has sold film rights; the darkly magical world of the Shadow Fold begs for an on-screen translation*! But that got us wondering. We'd like to know, in your opinion, what is it that makes some books seem ideal for a film translation?

Road Trip Song of the Week: "Clark Gable" by The Postal Service

Next week's topic: Halloween! What's your favorite scary book or movie?

*And don't forget, you can chat with Leigh about the movie, and any other burning questions you have about Shadow and Bone, during our live chat with her next Tuesday, Oct. 30!

  5. There are so many great book to movie translations, and just as many that aren't great! I think Harry Potters is the best book series to film series adaptation.

    Here's mine A Girl and her Diary

  18. When I read Beautiful Creatures, I knew it would make a great movie. When I read the Candymakers by Wendy Maas, I knew it wouldn't. But I loved both books.
    A lot of its in the set up and how easy it is to translate to another media.
