Memoirs of a Geisha is being made into a movie, with two really famous chinese stars. If I could spell thier names I would.
I agree with some of you. Jane Austen books would be great. So would Weathering Heights, I love that book.
Mathilda would be utterly fantastic.

I also agree with "Number the Stars." It already has been done as a play by Dr. Douglas W. Larche. I enjoyed reading it, but I am partial because we use to act together in my hometown. We also did a production of it. I wasn't in it though.

I agree with Mathilda.
What about Momo, or The Neverending Story? I'd love that.

There is a Hans Brinker musical. A small professional theatre in Chicago developed it about 15 years ago, and did it every year at holidy time for about five years in a row. I don't know if it's in any of the catalogs.

This ins't really the sort of book a kid (or possibly a teen) should be reading but I love Tales of the City by Amistead Maupin. I'm pretty sure it was a tv show a while back but does anyone know if it has been made into a play?
I could see it as an awesome musical.
