According to the book’s preface, the novel was written by brothers Rob and Andy Hedden based on an idea from Rob’s son Ryan. The story was turned into a movie of the same name in 2002, and the book appear at roughly the same time. We’re listing the book as a novelization of the movie (rather than the movie being an adaptation of the novel) because that’s how it’s described on the book’s cover.

  1. Screenplay—A screenplay of the corresponding movie was published in 2020 (ISBN 8652240906) and attributed to Charlene Kiser in various places, but we we believe that Kiser’s contribution was as an editor or compilationist of some sort, not a writer, so we have omitted a credit for her and not included the screenplay publication in the database.
