With the second The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian opening this week, it reminds us we have at least one book we remember reading over and over again as a child. It’s always a tricky business bringing beloved childhood stories to the big screen, especially since the images we’ve created for ourselves are hard to erase.

10. Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
