Ahmet Zappa a children’s book author? Apparently so and what’s more, his upcoming “The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless” has just been bought for adaptation by Disney.
The book follows a brother and sister who discover they belong to a family of legendary monster hunters and must journey to a far-off castle to rescue their father from the most fearsome monster of all. Zappa, a sometime actor and son of rocker Frank Zappa, illustrated the more than 300 monsters in the book.
…so THAT’S why it was postponed. Now I understand. Sure is a lot o’ monsters to draw…
Yep. You sure do get the impression that the Zappas ain’t exactly focused on propagating their dad’s music. But good luck to Ahmet, if that’s his thing (for the moment anyway).
Actually I wonder where he got the idea of “belonging to a family of legendary monster hunters”…
