I love this film, but I wasn’t a huge fan of this book. I get that these types of books are meant to attract younger readers but the pictures/photos/stills from the film that they chose to use… were either odd or fuzzy. I just feel like more thought and care could’ve gone into selecting stills from the film that were cleaner or more accurately reflected the scene that the book was describing. Also - one slightly annoying quibble was that on one particular page the writing was white against a backdrop/photo that had a lot of white in it - which made it slightly more difficult to read that page. Overall, it was nice to revisit this story and it made me want to rewatch the film.
