One thing that we are loving now a days is that studios are seeing that no one knows a property like the author who wrote it. For that we are giving Hollywood mad respect.
Jandy Nelson has been tapped to adapt her own book, The Sky Is Everywhere. Warner Bros. optioned the book last year.
That’s something spectacular. Jandy seems excited about the news.

Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan are producing. Nelson is executive producing.
And that’s another thing to be excited for – Jandy executive producing on her book.
Jandy’s second novel, I’ll Give You The Sun, was also picked up by Warner Bros., however no script writer attached to that novel yet.
BOOK SYNOPSIS: Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery sister Bailey. But when Bailey dies suddenly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey’s boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie’s own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they’re the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can’t collide without the whole wide world exploding.
