From iwatchstuff, Disney is moving forward with their long-stalled adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, the 1962 young-adult novel that I definitely read in-full and did not just lie about reading to get the Pizza Hut Book It! reward for a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza. According to

That wrinkle in time. It's said that Lee considers the book a childhood favorite--not just a gratis gateway to a thick, round slab of cheese and oil-soaked bread--and that her take "emphasizes a strong female-driven narrative." Because of course, yes, I had nearly forgotten that there is also the girl and/or woman character(s). There is not yet a director attached to the project.

Jake read this for a book report on my suggestion. He really liked it. I read it again too since it was here and also enjoyed it.
I taught a class on young adult fiction a few (8?) years ago and had this on the syllabus. Best book ever to start with the line, "It was a dark and stormy night."
