Also, at the Festival of Books at USC, Chris Columbus and Ned Vizzini were talking about their new book, House of Secrets. It looks kind of interesting!! I went to the discussion panel, then waited in line to get autographs. The line was way shorter than Orson Scott Card and it went a lot faster. Chris Columbus is a great director and producer. He directed the first 2 Harry Potter films, Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Percy Jackson, etc. He produced Night at the Museum, the Help, etc.

Here are the pics:
