Books to Movies in 2010

A new year means lots of books are coming to a theater near you! I included all books with teen interest, not just those that were published for young adults, so there is something for everyone. I can't vouch for their quality, but look for these movies through the year and make your own judgments:

• January 15: The Lovely Bones (book by Alice Sebold)
• February 5: Dear John (book by Nicholas Sparks)
• February 12: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (book by Rick Riordan)
• March 5: Alice in Wonderland (book by Lewis Carroll)
• April 2: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (book by Jeff Kinney)
• April 2: The Last Song (book by Nicholas Sparks)
• June 30: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (book by Stephenie Meyer)
• July 30: Beastly (book by Alex Flinn)
• September 17: Flipped (book by Wendelin Van Draanen)
• November 19: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (book by J. K. Rowling)
• December 10: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (book by C. S. Lewis)
• December 22: Gulliver's Travels (book by Jonathan Swift)

(There will be several hightly-anticipated comic book movies out this year as well. I didn't include them because they will all be R-rated as far as I could tell.)
