JCPL Teens

The book Before I Die by Jenny Downham is going to be turned into a movie, renamed Now is Good. It will star Dakota Fanning as Tessa and Jeremy Irvine from War Horse as her neighbor, Adam. It looks like it's supposed to come out on May 25 in the UK, but no word yet on the US release date. Let's hope it's soon!

Before I Die is the story of sixteen year old Tessa who was diagnosed with leukemia four years earlier. She knows she doesn't have much time left, and she makes a list of the 10 things she wants to do before she goes. Very intense!
