I am beside myself with excitement to announce that Hollywood has discovered my book! Things are still very much at the beginning stages – but there is a script and….it’s wonderful! 
Hooray! The super talented writer Garry Williams has done a great job of capturing the spirit of the book, while transforming it into a terrific screenplay. All the other details are still top secret, but as soon as I have anything to report, believe you me, I’ll be shouting it from the rooftops. Keep your fingers crossed that Heidi and Mama and Bernie will be hitting the big screen soon.

I love the book So B. It, and I love it even more that there’s a movie coming out about it. I’ve heard that My Guy is also talking about being a movie, and I’d like to know if it is going to be one.
I’m very excited about the possibility that So B. It will make it to the big screen. A LOT has to happen before that dream can come true, but I’m feeling hopeful. AS for MY GUY, who knows? Disney owns the rights, and some day they may turn it into a film, but at the moment I don’t think anything is happening. SW
So B. It is the type of book I’d love to be able to write. So happy to hear it’s going to Hollywood! Congratulations!
Thank you! SW
Wow! I just picked up the book today…and finished it today! It’s SO amazing! I’m excited at the thought of it becoming a movie! CONGRATS!
Thanks! SW
I LOVE SO B. IT I CAN TELL IT WOULD BE A GREAT MOVIE
Thanks! I hope it really happens. Sooooo many pieces have to be put in place before it can become a reality. Cross your fingers for me, okay? SW
SO B. It Its A Great Book!
When I Firts Got The book it was like a love poison that i couldnt live with out. Everytime my mom or teacher will tell me to put the down for i could do somework,i could’nt because the more i read the book the more i couldnt stop reading it. when i was about to finish with the book i really didnt want to finish with book because it was one of the firts books that i have ever liked so much. When I got to the end when heidi finds out that her mom has pass out, tears where really comming out of my eyes. But this is one of my REALLY Favorite book<3 
Thank you for this very nice message. I love that you felt my book was like a “love poison”. Nobody’s ever said that before! SW

How sweet that your mother was the one who picked out the book for you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. SW
My 10 y/o daughter and I are reading this in our book club. We read up to chapter 6 together and then I picked it up and finished the book yesterday….I couldn’t stop! I was discussing it with my husband and we both thought it would make a great movie and am so pleased to read today that its a strong possibility! I really hope it works out! Will be following your blog……Thank you for a great read. Haven’t felt that way about a book in a long time.
How nice to wake up this morning to find your message. I am so pleased that you and your daughter are in a book club together. I would have LOVED doing something like that when I was ten years old. There are some places where So B. It has been banned – because Mama is an unwed mother, and they claim that sets a bad example for kids. Can you believe it? Anyway, I’m glad that there are more people out there like you(and your husband!) who are embracing the book along with their children. Thank you for taking the time to write to me, it means a lot. all best, Sarah Weeks
Hi, this is one of the girls from 2 HUGE FANS and I can’t believe this could be a movie!! That would be so great for you and it would be the BEST movie Hollywood ever made!! I better call the other FAN right now!!!!!!!!(scream!)
I’m glad you’re excited(scream!) I am too(scream!) SW
Dear Sarah,
you are my favorite author. My favorite book is so.b.it.
my teacher read it to the class. We all loved it. I think you should wright a series of those kind of books. You are the best author EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you should consider making So.B.It a movie. I have a ? do you base your story’s on your life?
YOUR #1 FAN!!!!!,
Emily
Thanks for your nice message, Emily. I’m so glad you’re a fan of So B. It. Although there is no sequel to the book, I have written a number of other novels that I think you might enjoy. If you visit the BOOKS page of my website and click on NOVELS you will find descriptions of them all. None of my stories are based on my own life, but like most authors I include details from my memories of growing up. Happy reading and have a great summer! SW
My eleven year old daughter and I downloaded the book just two nights ago. I was so consumed by the story I finished it in just a few hours. My daughter is still working on it and we are having great discussions as a result. The book is well thought out, funny, dramatic and mysterious. That it may become a movie is awesome. Great job! You are an amazing writer and you have two new fans .
Wow! That is high praise. Thank you! Nothing I love better than a mother/daughter read. I’m so glad you and your daughter enjoyed So B. It. I hope maybe you’ll take a look at some of my other novels as well. Happy reading! SW
Oh wow I remembered I read the book in my last year of middle school. At the time I was having a very hard time and reading was the only way I could escape my problems. The ending was really sad though but I still loved it. I wonder who the cast will be……
I hope things are better now. Middle school can be a really hard time of life – I know it was for me. Glad if my book was a comfort to you in some way. SW
I LOVE SO B. IT SOOO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE GONA BE THE FIRST ONE TO SEE IT
Sweet. Thanks! SW
Hey(: My friend and I just finished reading the book for summer reading for 8th grade. We were wondering what day the movie will be out. Thanks!
As soon as I know I’ll be shouting it from the rooftops! At the moment, there’s a script, and the book has been optioned, but making a movie can take a looooooong time. SW
So B It is a perfect blend of plot, character, pacing and significant theme. As a coach who works with adoptive families, I am delighted to find fiction that presents variations on how family can look and be formed. Thank you for this poignant, meaningful and thoroughly enjoyable story.Please keep writing.
Thank you! I hope you’ll take a look at AS SIMPLE AS IT SEEMS, which deals with adoption and an interesting variation on the traditional family. SW
I just got finished reading this book, it was my favorite book ever! I can’t wait for the movie!
My goodness! Best book I ever read! I reallllyyyy hope that So B. It hits the theaters! That would be amazing! I keep wondering what actors and actresses would work for the movie… Who do you think would fit your characters? I keep thinking Madison Pettis for Heidi, but I don’t know
I’ve always pictured Kathy Bates as Bernie, but beyond that I haven’t thought much about the actors. It’s exciting to have an actual script in hand. I just hope it gets made! SW
I love the book So B. It. I actually just started reading it yesterday, and I can’t stop!!! But, unfortunately, I have to because it’s 11:00 at night and I have school tomorrow. BTW I’m in 6th grade, 11 years old, and I’m a really advanced reader. I read the whole Harry Potter series in a month in 4th grade. And right now I’m reading the Twilight Saga, but Eclipse was checked out at the library so I got So B. It and I love it!!! -Nina
I’m sort of glad that Eclipse was checked out – otherwise you might not have found So B. It! Happy reading!!! SW
I LOVE your book! My friends and I are so happy that a movie is coming out! Do you think that the movie is going to be non-animated? I dont think that So B. It would be a good animated film, it would be a lot better with live actora and actresses.
Definitely live action. I agree – an animated movie of So B. It would be……WEIRD! SW
Hi Sarah!!!!!I just got done reading your book So B. it I’m glad it might be a movie soon!! Its cool we have the same name. What’s the other book called?
YOUR CRAZED FAN,
SARA
I’m glad you enjoyed reading So B. It. Check out the BOOKS page on my website and you can see what else I’ve written. I’m thinking you might like to read As Simple As It Seems. SW
I first read So B. it in the 6th grade and since then, it has been my favorite book. I LOVE THIS BOOK and if it turns out NOT to be a movie, I will cry myself to sleep every night! :’(
You and me both, sister! SW
So B. It is my favorite book!!! Once I read that it was going to become a book I screamed. I am so excited to see it! I think I’ve read it about 6 times… Do you know (at an estimate) how long it might take to be made? My head my blow off with suspence… Haha I just cant wait!!!
soof!
Thanks for your sweet message. I’m excited about the movie too – but it may be a while before it becomes a reality. There are a lot of steps in the process. So far so good – keep your fingers crossed, okay? SW
I teach a Read 180 class to high school students and some of my students said this was a good book (it’s part of our Read 180 library). I finally got a chance to read it and couldn’t put it down. Finally finished today. What an awesome story! I’m waiting for one of my students who’s reading it to finish so we can discuss it. Crossing my fingers for the movie to come through!
Glad I came across your blog! One of the Read 180 projects is a letter to the author. It would be awesome if they could write you and get a response.
Absolutely! Have your students send letters through SCHOLASTIC. They usually reach me within a month and I’m pretty good with the turn around time. So glad you enjoyed the book! SW
So b it is my favorite book!!!!
Once I got my hands on it , I couldn’t stop reading it. But its sad that I haven’t read any of your other books. 
I have a question. What do you do during your free time? The reason why I am asking this question is because I have to do a speech about you.
Glad to know So B. It has a new fan. You can find some useful info for your speech by visiting the About Me page on my website. In my free time I enjoy baking, reading, and playing with our dog, Mia. SW

Hi Emily! THe first book I ever published was an alphabet book called Hurricane City. I think it came out in 1993. I’ve always liked to read and write stories. I’m not sure when the So B. It movie will come out – sometimes it takes a long time, but I will keep you posted. SW
Ohh my goodness!!! Sarah, you are an amazing writer. I love your book So B.It. It really brings out the couragesness, and determination Heidi has. Just to make it better there is a movie coming out! I will defenitly will be goiing to see it. How about you?
My fourth grade class loved this book. Thank you for such rich characters as Heidi, Bernie, and Mama. Thank you for helping us undedrstand lying, truth, and love. And luck. It has changed them into readers, and given them some wonderful friends. Marcia
