I didn´t know this was based on a book when I choose to watch this but the story had youth-novel printed all over it with two young protagonists. Unfortunately this is only the first part of a story that produced 4 novels in total. The movie wasn´t a success though generating below 20m$ while costing 55m$ which in Hollywood closes the door for sequels.
Which is a shame I guess because of all the youth novel movie adaptations I saw this is one of the best with a story that not only relates to children. They didn´t overstress it in making it a 2.5 hour movie and the production in general is really good.
But it works as a standalone movie with an open ending that leaves you with either your imagination or you take the route of reading the books.

@finfan Huh. I really enjoyed this movie back in the day, it didn't feel incomplete or lacking an ending. I didn't even realize there was more to it until just now reading your comment. I guess I'll have to check the books :)

@ajperez81 It's been four years since I watched it so I don't remember details. But as mentioned it works in itself. I didn't knew then this was a whole series of books. Found this out afterwards, so I do understand your view. I had assumed they wanted to produce the whole series but since this weasn't a success it never happened. Never read the books so don't know where this story goes further.<br /> Just watched it because of Soarsie
