This nearly identical to the movie, so in that aspect of movie novelization, spot on!
This is like a perfect recap if you don't want to watch the movie.

I've always thought novelizations, even the ones for kids, were supposed to be a tool to explore the movie a bit better, a chance to add a bit of background info that didn't fit in the movie, or maybe let the reader take a better look inside the workings of the minds of the characters. Some novelizations manage to do this extremely well, but, sadly, this wasn't one of them.
