10 YA Novels I Would Love to See Adapted for the Big Screen

10 YA Novels I Would Love to See Adapted for the Big Screen

With the recent release of the Netflix movie To All the Boys I've Loved Before, based on the YA novel of the same name by Jenny Han - which, by the way, is incredible, and if you haven't seen it yet, you must remedy that ASAP - I have been thinking recently of other YA novels that would make great movies, or even TV shows. Now, there are a few that I would absolutely love to see, but to so that I don't end up repeating what I've said in recent previous posts, I'm not going to discuss the books by Laini Taylor and Heidi Heilig, all of which should be made into movies (and should already have been, in my opinion!), so I'll share some other books I would love to see on the big screen.

White Rabbit, Red Wolf by Tom Pollock
White Rabbit, Red Wolf by Tom Pollock

Peter Blankman is afraid of everything and must confront unimaginable terror when his mother is attacked.

Seventeen-year-old Peter Blankman is a maths prodigy. He also suffers from severe panic attacks. Afraid of everything, he finds solace in the orderly and logical world of mathematics and in the love of his family: his scientist mum and his tough twin sister Bel, as well as Ingrid, his only friend.

However, when his mother is found stabbed before an award ceremony and his sister is nowhere to be found, Pete is dragged into a world of espionage and violence where state and family secrets intertwine. Armed only with his extraordinary analytical skills, Peter may just discover that his biggest weakness is his greatest strength

This book! It's so fast-paced and action packed, and full of twists and turns I didn't see coming at all! Mate, it was incredible! Not only do I think it's a no-brainer to make White Rabbit, Red Wolf into a movie, I also think it would translate perfectly from book to screen. And with a protagonist in Peter who has a panic disorder, it would be bloody fantastic to have that representation in a movie. A person with a panic disorder as the main character of an exceptionally mind-blowing thriller? It would be bloody brilliant. Read my review.
