The female protagonist never realizes the truth ... On the book note, please, please, please encourage your kids to read The Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. Beginning with "Sabriel", the series is enthralling. As a teacher, I recommend it to readers, non-readers, girls, boys, whomever. It always receives high praise! Oh, age-wise, I'd say 12 and up, but I know 10-year-old girls who are reading "Twilight" and 8 year olds who are reading "Harry Potter". Here's a thought. Read it first.

This reminds me of the "Parts: The Clonus Horror"/"The Island" controversy, for which there WAS a lawsuit, and they settled out of court. For the record, for the 9-12 yo girls, I'd suggest "Stone Words" by Pam Conrad, which isn't a movie but is an awesomely written book! wow.
