Everyone seemed to enjoy reading Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass. The characters were interesting and funny, and the mystery discovered inside the box at the end was both surprising and satisfying. A couple Bookshoppers even joked that they want to start collecting rocks like Jeremy's dad had.
After giving Carson, our new member, a brief summary of the book and watching the author's book trailer, Emily's Stupeflix book trailer, AND the trailer for the 2011 movie adaptation, we were ready to explore the free online video creator, Stupeflix. We've used Animoto to make book trailers in the past, but the search function within Stupeflix made it a little bit easier to restrict our videos to include only images with the correct Creative Commons license for reuse.
We used the book as a jumping off point for some very interesting book trailers that may or may not have taken creative liberties with certain plot points and characters... Consider yourself warned. Enjoy!
