Fifty-five Questions About Books (with Someone's Fifty-five Answers)

Kelly Sedinger answered 55 questions about books earlier this month and off the bat, when asked about his favorite childhood book, gives some love to Bellairs - with some film commentary, to boot!

It continues to amaze me that there are no film adaptations of Bellairs’s books! The Treasure of Alpheus T. Winterborn [sic] or The Curse of the Blue Figurine would make amazing books – albeit with some pitfalls that would have to be handled correctly by filmmakers, specifically the fact that in just about every Bellairs book, the young hero’s best friend is an adult. When done poorly, that’s just a train wreck.
