About the author

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!

This is a standard paperback novelization of the live action movie now appearing on Disney+. While the reading level for this title might be 3-4th grade, I can see this appealing to a broader age range from 6-10 depending on interest. The junior novelization makes it skew younger in appeal. There are also eight pages of color photos from the movie.

The format, price and promotion from the movie will appeal to young readers and pre-readers may also enjoy having this read aloud to them by an adult.

I would recommend this book for purchase by school and public libraries for their high interest collections. The paperback may not survive heavy circulation, but children will surely be happy to find it on our shelves.

Movie novelizations are always so fun! Just not that good or bad. Average I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am so happy they re-did this movie as a live-action feature--the perfect way to introduce it to a new generation. My kids and I have so loved reading this ARC Disney sent our way. We read a chapter at night before bed, and it's the perfect way to enjoy the story!
