Bookish Blue (and not far from the next color change, either)! Lots of folks are close to their next color change. Good work, team!
For today's book turned movie, let's look at Lemonade Mouth!
This is another book that I have actually read, and Disney made a lot of tweaks to the characters and story before adapting it into a Disney Channel Original Movie. The green-haired character on the cover is actually a girl named Stella! Though in the movie, she has shoulder-length brown hair and is Asian-American. Most of the characters have very different appearances in the book vs. the movie, with the movie characters being much more conventionally attractive. The music of the titular band is also quite different in the book. Instead of playing traditional rock-band instruments, Lemonade Mouth uses conga drums and timbales, a ukulele, a trumpet, and a bass.
The book received a sequel while the movie did not. The second book, entitled Lemonade Mouth Puckers Up, seems like a criticism of the creative liberties that Disney took with the story. I thought the sequel book was too cynical to be very good. LOL.
