My daughter I named our Portland veterinary clinic after your books. I told my staff when the movie comes out we will rent a limo, dress up, and arrive at the premier in style! We are so excited! Thanks for the update!

Cannot wait to see this film. Love the books so much and to see them lovingly rendered in this way will be amazing.

I’ve been a huge fan since the release of the first book. I have one of Carson’s litho posters hanging in my living room (Prue in the City of Moles). Goosebumps. Cannot wait!

My wife and I read the whole trilogy to our then-two-year-old son at bedtime. (He calls it “Hawk Book” because of the crow inlay on the cover.) He’ll be old enough to appreciate this film when it comes out. Mom and I are stoked.

Read the books in my early teens and I am such a huge fan of LAIKA! I am beyond excited for this and can't wait to see Prue's Adventure on the big screen!

Loveee this series and it inspired me to push to write prose. Stop motion seems the perfect secondary medium to tell this tale . Incredibly excited
