by Lexi Ryals

A Broadway classic is back on the big screen December 19, 2014!

Relive all of your favorite Annie moments in this movie novel featuring eight-pages of color photos.

Annie is a foster kid who's had a hard knock life ever since her parents left her as a baby. She doesn't think she'll ever escape her mean foster mom, Miss Hannigan, but everything's about to change. Wanting to improve his image ahead of the election campaign, New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks takes Annie in. Stacks soon discovers that Annie's sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook just might be the thing he needs in his life.

This modern retelling stars some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Jamie Foxx (Will Stacks), Cameron Diaz (Miss Hannigan), Rose Byrne (Grace Farrell), and Academy Award nominated Quvenzhané Wallis (Annie). Director/Producer/Screenwriter Will Gluck has teamed up with producers James Lassiter, Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith, Shawn "JAY Z" Carter, Laurence "Jay" Brown, and Tyran "Ty Ty" Smith in this heart-warming Columbia Pictures film.

Ok, this has to be the best junior novel ever written. The movie alone was so perfect I can't even explain. But being the book worm I am, I almost fell over when I heard there was a Junior Novel. The book was adorable and funny. much better than the other junior novels I have read. The little dialogue between the foster kids was just so cute and I would love to be there friends. really people, if you are seriously looking for a sweet read this is the book for you. Also there is a movie and if you don't feel satisfied with the book, make sure to watch the movie.

[Diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book and movie turned out a lot better than I expected. A modernized version of the old classic.

[Wendelle]

(about the original 1980s movie) entirely reliant on the lead child's appeal to excuse its questionable messages. understand the need for escapism during a recession though.

A somewhat watered-down 21st century re-vamp of the character/story of little orphan Annie.
