YA Book to Movie Adaptions

So lately there has been so many Ya book to movie adaptions!! I am absolutely here for it.I love it when my fave YA books can come to life on the big screen.I'm also a huge fan when YA books I've never heard of graces the big screen because that just give me an excuse to check out a book I've never heard of before.

A few ya book to movie adaptions that are already out or coming out are The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas ,Dumpling by Julie Murphy Everything,Everything by Nicola Yoon ,Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli Hearing about this book to movie adaption made me want to put together a wishlist of sorts of books I think would make awesome movies.So here ya  go.Hope you enjoy!!

Title:Dear Martin
Author: Nic Stone

Justyce McAllister is top of his class, captain of the debate team, and set for the Ivy League next year—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. He is eventually released without charges (or an apology), but the incident has Justyce spooked. Despite leaving his rough neighborhood, he can’t seem to escape the scorn of his former peers or the attitude of his prep school classmates. The only exception: Sarah Jane, Justyce’s gorgeous—and white—debate partner he wishes he didn’t have a thing for.

Struggling to cope with it all, Justyce starts a journal to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But do Dr. King’s teachings hold up in the modern world? Justyce isn’t so sure.

Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up. Way up. Much to the fury of the white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. And Justyce and Manny get caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it’s Justyce who is under attack. The truth of what happened that night—some would kill to know. Justyce is dying to forget.

I think with that along with The Hate You Give this book would shake up the box office and shed some light on topics that you don't see in big budget movie.


 Title:Our Chemical Hearts
Author:Krystal Sutherland
Henry Page has never been in love. He fancies himself a hopeless romantic, but the slo-mo, heart palpitating, can't-eat-can't-sleep kind of love that he's been hoping for just hasn't been in the cards for him—at least not yet. Instead, he's been happy to focus on his grades, on getting into a semi-decent college and finally becoming editor of his school newspaper. Then Grace Town walks into his first period class on the third Tuesday of senior year and he knows everything's about to change.

Grace isn't who Henry pictured as his dream girl—she walks with a cane, wears oversized boys' clothes, and rarely seems to shower. But when Grace and Henry are both chosen to edit the school paper, he quickly finds himself falling for her. It's obvious there's something broken about Grace, but it seems to make her even more beautiful to Henry, and he wants nothing more than to help her put the pieces back together again. And yet, this isn't your average story of boy meets girl. Krystal Sutherland's brilliant debut is equal parts wit and heartbreak, a potent reminder of the bittersweet bliss that is first love.

This would make an excellent movie.I loved reading this book and kinda wish I could see it on the big screen

Title: Into White
Author: Randi Pink
When a black teenager prays to be white and her wish comes true, her journey of self-discovery takes shocking--and often hilarious--twists and turns in this debut that people are sure to talk about.

LaToya Williams lives in Birmingham, Alabama, and attends a mostly white high school. She's so low on the social ladder that even the other black kids disrespect her. Only her older brother, Alex, believes in her. At least, until a higher power answers her only prayer--to be "anything but black." And voila! She wakes up with blond hair, blue eyes, and lily white skin. And then the real fun begins . . .

Randi Pink's debut dares to explore provocative territory. One thing's for sure--people will talk about this book

There is definitely nothing like this book.The book touches on concepts that are relate-able  that not many people speak about and seeing it on the big screen would spotlight these issues and start a conversation.



Title: Tiger Lily
Author:Jodie Lynn Anderson

 Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair...

Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell.

Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him. When she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter.

With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart.

There are so many Peter Pan movies out there which is great but...it would rock if the ladies like Tiger Lily and Wendy hard their own movie.Tiger Lily would make an awesome movie.

Neverland

I was listening to All Time Low songs on you tube and came across Somewhere in Neverland which instantly reminded me of Peter Pan and then of the book Tiger Lily.So i decided to make a post that contains the song ,the Book, and a trailer of one of my favorite Peter Pan movies

Books to Movies


Lately it seems like there has been a lot of YA book to movie adaptions like: I am Number Four, Beastly, The Hunger Games and Perks of Being a Wall Flower. Most recently the trailer for City of Bones from The Immortal Instruments series came out and The Beautiful Creature trailer as well. Personally I'm a bit more excited for City of Bones then Beautiful Creatures. I’m a big fan of Cassandra Claire's shadow hunters and can't wait to see how everything looks on the big screen.

So because of the surge of YA book to movie adaptions I wanted to make a post about books that I would love to see get turned in to a movie!

1.The Iron Fey Series because there has yet to be a movie about fey/faeries and the books from this series would be amazing to see come alive on screen.

As Meaghan Chase I picture someone like Dakota Fanning.Or maybe Bridgit mendler

 


  So Ash is  lean, muscular and tall with thick, tossled jet-black hair and I could totally see Tom Felton as Ash since he pulled of the smirk so well as Draco. Or If not then Avan Jogia despite the fact that Ash is supposed to have pale skin.


 
 










I'm not sure who I could see as Puck since he's described as  is tall, lean, and lanky with spiky crimson hair and bright green eyes.I can't think of many real Ginger acters.I could see Nick Roux  from Jane by Design possibly being Puck if he dyed his hair.







2.Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver this book has the makings of a perfect teen flick filled with mean girls,high school, drama,lots of heart and a moral that I think everyone could relate with.

I'm not sure who i'd pick for Sam it would have to be someone that could pull of the whole the kinda-bitchy, used-to-be-dorky popular girl thing maybe Liam Meester
 
When I picture Kent I imagine someone like Matt Bennett who plays Robbie on Victorious Or possibly the singer Joe Brooks.










A few more books that i wouldn't mind being turn into movies are Wicked Lovey Series because I'm a fan of the Fey.& The Firelight Series because who cares about shape-shifting werewolfs I'd much  rather watch people turn into Dragons.
