Boy/Girl series as a movie?

Comment:

Hi Ms Naylor,
I just want you to know that your Boy/Girl series is fantastic. When I read the book with my son many years back, I thought it was so funny and creative. I kept thinking “why hasn’t this been turned into a movie?”
Has anyone approached you about creating movies from the series?
When my kids were younger, I was always looking for something that we could watch together that wasn’t a cartoon or didn’t involve profanity/nudity/violence/sex. Personally, I enjoy having family movie night and watching series on Netflix/Amazon/HULU with my kids who are now 15 and 17. If your boy/girl series was turned into a series, I would definitely watch it and highly recommend it to everyone I know when they ask “what are you watching on Netflix?” which as you know was something I heard frequently during COVID quarantine. I recently recommended the series on goodreads to my sister for my 3rd grade nephew who is an avid reader. I believe this series, which includes endearing characters and laugh out loud comedy, should continue to be read and would also make a great series for all ages.
I would love to hear your thoughts.

I’m so glad you enjoyed those books so much.  I have almost no control over what books of mine make the movies or TV, but I have sent a copy of your email to the two producers of my Shiloh movies.  Perhaps they will take a look.  Yes, I agree that this set of twelve books could easily make a continuing comedy series for TV.
