Be a movie critic!

Your HJH Book Club, Library, and Language Arts Department wants you to be a critic of books that have been turned into movies.

Read a book, watch the movie, complete a questionnaire (click here for questionnaire) and email your opinion to HJH for all to see—let us know if the book is better than the movie or vice versa. Inquiring minds want to know!
