FAT KID RULES THE WORLD movie - World Premiere at SXSW!

The world premiere of the movie based on K.L. Going's Printz Honor winning novel, FAT KID RULES THE WORLD (Putnam 2003), will be this Friday during the SXSW Film Festival.  There will be additional showings throughout the week. 

Check out the official schedule here.

Also, Kelly will be signing the book at the Barnes & Noble booth at 2 PM on Monday, March 12.  Be sure to pick up a copy!

Cynthia has a Story Behind the Story interview with Kelly on the novel here.  Check out Kelly's blog and her account of the first private screening here.

For the record, Cynthia and I "met" Kelly when she worked as an assistant to our agent, Ginger Knowlton.  We've never met in person, but were thrilled when (a) we found out she was writing and (b) won a Printz Honor for FAT KID! (And her other books are great, too).
