Younger Readers:
Middle Grade:

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
Family Friendly Movies:
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle – This is rated PG-13 mostly for language and some suggestive content, but I would say this is great for ages 10+.
Video Games the Movie – Documentary about Nintendo and Sega games and how they were made, marketed, and consumed.
The Maltese Falcon – If you read the book, you’ll probably want to watch the film to compare.
Warcraft – Even if you’ve never played, this is a fun fantasy film that takes place in the World of Warcraft universe. I recommend this for ages 10+
Angry Birds the Movie – My kids all loved this movie when it came out. Silly movie about the game of the same name.
Ready Player One – Read the book and compare with the movie! This also has a PG – 13 rating for violence, language, and suggestive content – this one is probably best for ages 12+
