A Borders Exclusive Hardcover of the Junior Novelizations for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Movies [The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest & At World's end].
his is the part I'm always the worst at—talking about myself! So as you've figured out, my name is Elizabeth Rudnick and I'm a young adult author. I'm also a Senior Editor at Disney Press in New York City. I've edited books based on movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and Prince of Persia as well as Miley Cyrus's memoir, Miles to Go, which was a New York Times bestseller (imagine if Tweet Heart was too!) and a total blast to work on.
When I'm not working, I live in Connecticut with a big mutt named Jack Dyson (because he has the ability to suck up anything in his way) and have a habit of watching hours of mindless television. I like to think of it as research!
The story of the three Walt Disney movies, The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, At World's End - great for reading to kids after they've seen the films. Simple, easy-to-understand language will also encourage them to read for themselves. As an adult, it's pleasant to re-live the movie again as a reading experience, maybe something to pick up when you seriously have nothing better to do or simply want an easy escape.
