Despite being a huge fan of the original Disney Channel show, I did not care for The Lizzie McGuire Movie when I first saw it. I found it to be rather dull and lacking in the departments that made the sitcom great. The novelization is pretty much the same; sure, it's cute and innocent, but it lacks what even the novelizations of the original episodes had. Fans of the theatrically released film may feel differently, but, if you're like me: Don't bother.
honestly not a great novelization. lots of details were changed and completely left out and it just felt rushed. but still a fun time since i love the characters and movie.
I was a fan of the show, originally watching because Animated Lizzie was designed by Savage Steve Holland, creator of Better Off Dead and the Whammies from the Press Your Luck game show, so I definitely had to check out the movie when it came out on video (I was working for Blockbuster Video at the time). When I saw this in my Little Free Library, I thought it would be a nice little revisit.
And it was. Being a junior novelization, it directly follows the movie, leaving out only a few minor details that probably either weren't in the screenplay draft used to adapt or weren't deemed important enough to the overall story (Sergei and Ungermeyer, for example).
It's a fun story, and I'll be putting it back in my Little Free Library for someone else to discover.
In this final book in the series, Lizzie's graduation from junior high is a disaster. She then goes with other students and a teacher to Rome. While there, a guy says she looks just like his singing partner, who has left him (he says). They hang out a lot, and then he says he wants Lizzie to attend an awards ceremony with him.
It's all a big set-up, though, and Lizzie thinks everything will be a disaster, but things turn out better for her than they ever have. The book also deals with Gordo's feelings for Lizzie.
Well I'm older so I wouldn't like this book as much but it would be good for any Disney Freak like me at age 12. I recommend also reading Camp Rock Junior Edition.
