I just heard that John Grisham is coming out with a teen book titled Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer. (Sorry John I don't like the title--I know this revelation will keep you up at night.) The novel is not coming out until May 25, but is part of a 2 book deal. There seems to be a trend of adult authors writing books for the teen market. Here are a few of the authors that come to mind: Adriana Trigiani, Walter Mosley, Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus (the Nanny Diaries gals), James Patterson, Isabel Allende, & Alice Hoffman. Ann Brashares has gone the opposite way and started writing some books for adults--Ann is the author of the very popular Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. Then there is Meg Cabot who will write anything for anyone at any time! We will see where this trend goes and who else joins the fray--come on Danielle Steel I know you want to.

Don't forget Carl Hiaasen. "Hoot" was made into a good movie.
