Have you read the books? Have your children? Do your children want to see the movie? Do you?
Not to stir up silt in the clear waters of the Willamette, but there has been controversy around the presentation of this movie. Frankly, I think you should make your own decisions and I don’t think your faith should be shaken by a fantasy book.

Here’s a plot synopsis, if you don’t feel like reading the books. And here’s a discussion guide ( aimed at teachers ) to help prompt some questions.
