There are tons of movies based on books out there, so I limited selections to
movies/books targeted at teens, or movies /books that teens would actually
watch/read. Also, currency seems to be the catchphrase when working with
teens, so I've kept it current.

I Know What You Did Last Summer -- same title (Lois Duncan)

Drive Me Crazy -- Girl Gives Birth To Own Prom Date (Todd Strasser)
