When I was ten and "not allowed to read Stephen King" I borrowed this book from a friend and felt like a real little badass secretly reading it at night, except I only got like 50 pages in because it was tres boring. It's about a little girl who has pyrokinetic superpowers and the government is after her and her pops because she's very dangerous and or useful. I am not supposed to think this, but I do kinda agree with the evil government agency here - you can't have some eight year old with anger issues just wandering around blowing things up with her brain! Much like the book the movie is mostly boring except for an amazing final action scene where the little girl totally loses her shit on some secret agents.
