[Ann T, Adult Moderator]

We are going for a theme for our BOTM Group Read in June. Looking for nominations of CLEAN books that have been made into a movie. Here we go!

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

Ender’s game(I think it’s quite clean)

[Ella]

Charlotte's Web

[Mary]

The Giver is a clean YA Distopia that inspired a really fun movie. Personally, I liked the movie even more than the book, but it's still a really interesting read. Plus, it's considered a classic.

[Willow Anne]

I nominate Little House on the Prairie. I've been wanting to reread it :)

[Sophia Kurt]

Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen

[Sophia Kurt]

Or one of my favourite books ‘A little in love’ by Susan E. Fletcher. Parts of it were taken from the movie ‘les misérables’

The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien

I will accept 3 more nominations.

I'd like to nominate Matilda by Roald Dahl because I love the movie!

[Amanda]

mr. Darcy's diary by Amanda Grange it's the story of Pride and Prejudice but it's told from mr. Darcy's point of view

[Avery]

I know the movie sucked, but I nominate “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”

[Avery]

The lighting thief ^^^

[Hannah]

I would like to nominate Dune by Frank Herbert. I know it’s a pretty long book and I am not sure on the cleanliness but I am pretty sure it is relatively clean. It would be cool to read it.

I read this book last year. It was really good. However, there is drug use, rape, and some explicit sex scenes in it, so we will not be able to put it on our list here.

The only problem I saw with Flipped is that it had a graphic suicidal scene that was glorified, and the Lightning Thief has a sexually abusive relationship.

Wait, I read the Lightning Theif and if you're referring to Percy's mother and her boyfriend then that isn't explicitly stated or shown (plus I'd say it was domestic, not sexual). But regardless, it's a very small fraction I don't think it should decide reading or not reading the book. It's mostly mentioned in passing anyway.

Just giving my input, whatever you guys, as mods, decide is fine with me.
