These three books into movies tidbits come from Walden Media:

With The Dark rising, the future of the world rests in Will’s hands.
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep is coming to Theaters December 2007. Based on Dick King-Smiths acclaimed story, The Water Horse tells the magical story of a lonely boy in Scotland who finds a mysterious egg on the shore of a loch. When the egg hatches, what emerges is a water horse, a mythical sea monster of Scottish legend. But as the rapidly growing beast becomes harder to conceal from those who see it as a threat, the boy must find new ways to protect the misunderstood creature.

I read So B. It when I was trying to read through a lot of the Battle of the Books titles...I really liked it a lot. It had a real "Because of Winn Dixie-ish" feel. I think if somebody liked that book, they would also like the book Here Today by Ann Martin, not because they are about the same thing, but because the main narrator has a similar voice.
Also, I haven't read title "One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies" yet, but loved Sonya Sones' first book (based on her own real life experience) "Stop Pretending".
