Credit for these amazing questions go to my childhood friends, Krystina, Nina and Kelsey. Which one of them is the actual author I know not. I'm simply a thief of their brilliant-ness.

Bridge to Terabithia
25. Most disappointing film adaptation?Eragon. (I'm not sure if this counts because I never actually read the book)
