As long as they don't muck it up, this could be done very well. I've always loved these books, and I think they would adapt very well to film. They're not particularly long, so they shouldn't have to change much either. The trick will be finding the right kid to play Will. Great!

I don't know if Susan Cooper is still alive (and I am too lazy to check) and, if she is, I hope they value her input rather than ingnoring it, as they did with Ursula LeGuin and the Earthsex, er, Earthsea mini series. These books, like those of Tamora Pierce, are wonderful 'children's books' that can inspire young readers to continue to read sci-fi and fantasy. Great Series
