The Pendragon Ten

After my last post, I was asked what other books I would want turned into movies. Of course this is a particularly hard question. Sometimes the story, shouldn't be turned into a book because usually when it is turned into a movie, it usually is a lot worse than the book. But if I was given complete directive license, the next movies I would make would be from the Pendragon series by D.J. Machale.

I'm not sure how many people really know about these books so i'll give a summary. In the series there are a total of 10 books, on the side their are some spinoffs about the origins of some of the characters found in the original series. The story starts with Bobby Pendragon, with his seemingly perfect life, and his friends Courtney and Mark in Stony Brook, Connecticut. His life is turned around when his Uncle Press tells him the certain people need help. While running into an evil that he will never forget, Bobby and Press find themselves in another world, in a different time, on the other side of the universe. In these books Bobby finds his calling as a Traveler while helping others during a turning point in their world's history that is being pushed to chaos by the evil from before, Saint Dane. With help from other Travelers, Bobby tries to save everyone and everything from that chaos. The books in order are: The Merchant of Death, The Lost City of Faar, The Never War, The Reality Bug, Black water, The Rivers of Zadaa, The Quillan Games, The Pilgrims of Rayne, Raven Rise, and The Soldiers of Halla. 

These books are great books for kids in middle school. And this could bring in plenty of revenue because it's not like any other story out there right now. The imagination that D.J. Machale has poured into these books is priceless and visionary. Deep-seated in the book lies important morals such as too much technology (Reality Bug) or animal rights (Black Water). These are great reads and they would make great movies  under my directorial genius.
