  • Disney Gets Ready For Prom

    After the world-domination success of the High School Musical trilogy, it’s only natural that the big dogs at Disney attempt a movie to fill the gaping gap in the tween market.

    When published in 2002 The Lovely Bones was an instant success, climbing to top of the UK as well as US book charts.
