Introduction

You are a new writer for Kids Entertainment Weekly. Your first assignment is to cover the story on the release of Tom Hanks' film, The Polar Express, based on the book created by Chris van Allsburg. But you don't want to do just another movie review. You want to really impress your boss by writing an article that shows you know the "whole" story behind The Polar Express. But before you can begin writing, you must do some research to find out who the author is, and how this movie is better (if it is) than just reading the book. Then you'll be ready to write a front page article!
