The idea was conceived to give audiences an opportunity to examine great cinema that began as outstanding literature, with a behind-the-scenes look at some of their favorite book-to-film adaptations. Each spring, the Books on Film series includes six events, all of which feature the presentation of a film along with a special onstage interview with authors, filmmakers, and industry experts, and each event is hosted by CBC Radio personality Eleanor Wachtel.</p> <p><a href="https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/in-depth-stories/penguin-random-house-canada-partners-with-toronto-international-film-festival-for-books-on-film-series/" class="rm_link" id="expand_8249">More</a></p> </div> <div class="post_div clear"> <h2><a href="https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/in-depth-stories/bringing-a-new-convention-model-to-the-brazilian-young-adult-readership/">Bringing a New “Convention” Model to the Brazilian Young Adult Readership</a></h2> <p class="post_date">October 30, 2017</p> <p><a href="https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/FLIPOP6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8351" src="https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/FLIPOP6-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" srcset="https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/FLIPOP6-300x150.jpg 300w, https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/FLIPOP6.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Like many countries around the world, Brazil has seen a surge in young adult literature.
