Dork Diaries series to become movie

My daughter, unlike me, is what you call a 'reluctant reader' But, She started to really enjoy reading and WANT to read with the series 'Dork Diaries' so I am thrilled to hear Summit has picked up the series to create movies.

Looking to broaden its book-centric film portfolio, Summit Entertainment acquired Rachel Renée Russell’s bestselling book series Dork Diaries. Karen Rosenfelt is in talks to produce through her Sunswept Entertainment banner. She did Twilight Saga for Summit. The series revolves around an eighth grader who navigates the perils of a new school, with all the crushes, mean girls and friends and enemies that get in the way. Story is told from the vantage point of being on the low end of the social spectrum
