The
lightning thiefRick
Riordan's wildly popular series for
young readers makes the leap to the big
screen on February 12 with the premiere
of Percy
Jackson & the Olympians: The
Lightning Thief. Adapted from the
first book in the series, the film is
directed by Chris Columbus (who brought
the first two Harry
Potter books to the screen) and stars
Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson, a high
school student who discovers that the
Greek gods of Olympus are alive -- and
that one of the gods is his father! Since
the publication of the first Percy
Jackson book in 2005, Riordan has
followed it with four others in the
series, all bestsellers. Perfect for
readers 10 and up, Riordan's books are
packed with adventure, hilarious
escapades and generous references to classical
mythology.

Shutter
Island
Dennis
Lehane's suspenseful tale of an
investigation on an island insane asylum
was both a bestseller and a critical
success in 2003. Soon, fans of Shutter
Island will get a chilling treat a
movie adaption directed by Martin
Scorsese. U.S. Marshals Teddy Daniels and
Chuck Aule will be brought to life by the
likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark
Ruffalo, and escaped murderess Rachel
Solando is played by Emily Mortimer. The
film hits theaters on February 19, so if
you're planning to read it before you see
it, now's the time to take a trip to Shutter
Island.
