You’re probably seeing a lot of Ariana Grande‘s name in this week’s headlines: She’s hosting Saturday Night Live, she’s featured on Charli XCX’s new version of Brat, and Ariana as Glinda is just about everywhere as the rollout to Wicked in movie theaters continues. Let’s break it down for you — should you catch up with everything Ariana with your kids? — and share what else to look out for in entertainment this second week of October.
In theaters this week is Piece by Piece, an imaginative take on a celebrity biopic that should appeal to the young and old. Through the art of LEGO animation, it tells the story of multihyphenate Pharrell Williams, the music artist, producer and fashion icon.
To balance out the screen time, get lost in a good book. Below are a couple choices for different age ranges, including a beautifully illustrated, holiday Harry Potter release, and a neat box set of a best-selling, realistic fiction series that’s inspired a movie my family’s looking forward to streaming on Disney+ next month.
