Dave Eggers working on 'Wild Things' novel to coincide with the movie release

Dave Eggers, who co-wrote the screenplay for 'Where The Wild Things Are' is apparently working on a related novel that will be released with the film. It's unclear on what similarities it will hold to either the original book or the upcoming film, but it will apparently be different to both. Dave said he was approached by original author Maurice Sendak with the idea.

The target audience for the novel is expected to be both adult and younger readers.

Dave Eggers is a well known and praised for his previous writing. Publisher Dan Halpern predicts 'The Wild Things' will be a big success for Eggers.
