Dramatization of the Book

If this book was made into a movie, I would chose Skandar Keynes because they are both irresponsible. Also because in the movie Narnia he played Edmund Pevensie, who changes throughout the story into a better person. I would chose Liam Aiken to play Chris because they are both nerdy and unique.
