I just finished it today (I bought it a few months ago at Goodwill cuz they have a good kids' book selection, but it was so short I decided to read it slowly to make it last). The dialogue and stuff is very close to the book, but Crysta has 2 parents, grandparents, and sisters in it. other than that it's pretty close, and of course it was good.

I remember members from a Ferngully forum were talking about this. I'm one of those people who actually never knew the movie was based on a book but I was told that Crysta's mom and sisters were in it. Kinda makes you wonder why they never ended up in the movie at all.

I didnt know there was a book but now I want to read it
