Running Out of Time vs. The Village...Hmmm...

Movie critics don't read childrens books. If they did they may have picked up on this interesting controversy sooner. Apparently teenagers who saw M. Night Shyamalan's The Village thought it reminded them of a book from their school library. They began talking about it on their blogs and it has now trickled into the news. Have you read Running Out of Time, 1994 by Margaret Peterson Haddix? It is one of my favorite books.

I want to see the movie now. To read more about it see this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Sorry, they may make you register. Knowing the plot of the book may have now have tipped me off about the twist in the movie. Hmmm...
