The novel Holes, by Louis Sachar; is a hoot, and all the intergenerational complications are easier to keep straight on the page. I was surprised at how well Disney adapted it, particularly after the wretched job they did with The Princess Diaries (which is a good book, dammit). Sigourney Weaver is so very, very perfect, as is the kid who plays Zero.
