Peter and the Starcatchers Has a Director

I just read that the movie version of Peter and the Starcatchers, the prequel to Peter Pan, written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson (author of the Kingdom Keepers series), now has a director on board. Gary Ross, who most recently directed The Hunger Games will be at the helm. I'm very anxious to see how this turns out. (Gotta admit, I was a bit disappointed at The Hunger Games...not a great representation of the book, in my opinion. I'm approaching Peter... with excitement tinged with skepticism.)

YES Programs Introduce "Kingdom Keepers Quest"

My 7-year-old daughter loves the Kingdom Keepers novel series by Ridley Pearson. (OK, I admit it...I like the books too!) We were super excited to hear that Disney's Youth Education Series has introduced a unique educational experience centered around the books: The Kingdom Keepers Quest. The post mentions that this is for groups of 10 or more students (no age specs given). Here's hoping that they open this up to homeschoolers for individual enrollment!
