Welcome back to our Library Blog. I hope you all managed to find time for some relaxing over the holidays. I am sure many of you went to the movies over the holidays, perhaps to see Paddington or Paper Planes or catch up with The Maze Runner. These are 3 examples of book and movie tie-ins. Paddington of course is an old classic story published first in 1958 and written by Michael Bond and The Maze Runner was published in 2009 and written by James Dashner. Paper Planes is somewhat different as the book was written after the movie, so it is actually an adaptation of the screen version by Steve Worland! Paper Planes and The Maze Runner are both available for borrowing from our library and I am waiting on a current release of Paddington to add to our collection. Many students are actually surprised to find their favourite movies started as a book.
So what other book movie tie-ins do we have in our library. here's a list to help if you are trying to find something to read...
