Read the book as a kid and liked it...but I have no idea why they decided to make this a "black movie." The characters in the book are white. Shoehorning it into a "love letter for black girls" as Ava calls it doesn't make sense to me when there are so many great YA (young adult) fiction books to adapt that feature black themes or characters.
The book is basically Narnia with some math and science thrown in. It's not what I'd call a surefire hit movie idea. The trailers basically look like a bloated blockbuster with more focus on costumes and fantasy CGI design than an entertaining or easily understandable plot.
