This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   Father O'Day is an inner-city Roman Catholic priest. Jason O'day is an old widower.
   The main antagonist, Deranian is working for a shadowy European cabal who are trying to capture the children for their special powers. Deranian's employer, Aristotle Bolt wants to obtain the children for their powers.
   Tony and Tia have olive colored skin and light hair. Tia appears to be mute but can speak in a high pitched voice only Tony can hear. Tony and Tia are Caucasian with blond hair. Both can speak normally.
   Tony and Tia are headed to the Blue Ridge Mountains. The movie is set on the west coast of the USA.
   The children's ship is shot down. Their ship crashes.
   Tony and Tia run away from the orphanage after meeting Deranian and knowing he is not their uncle. Tony and Tia are taken to Bolt's mansion (Deranian's employer) where later on they run away.
   The nun tells Tony that she once saw a star symbol like the one on Tias' star box. The nun dies before Tony has a chance to go back and follow up on her mention. No nun in the movie
   Father O'Day risks his life for the freedom of t he children and his role as priest is substantial to the devil like character of Deranian. No priest, or Godly references
   Tia and Tony communicate only telepathically with each other. The fact that Tony can speak verbally is strange be where they are from, they only speak telepathically.They also seem to be telepathically communicating to someone else, later to be revealed. No third telepathic communication
