Two popular books make their big screen debuts this October!

October 3: Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn

It's been three weeks, 2 days, and 23 hours since Tris broke up with Nick. When she shows up at his band's gig with a new boyfriend, Nick, in a desperate attempt to show her he's moved on too, turns to the girl next to him and asks her to be his girlfriend for five minutes.  Thus begins Nick and Norah and the night they will never forget. 

October 10: City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau

For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember's once powerful generator is failing ... and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers, in a race against time, must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city's existence, and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever.
