Technically not a remake, but another freaking adaptation, but, we all have to remember, Fitzhugh's original book was published in 1964, and so the even the Nickelodeon produced version was a update of the original story, it happens
But, I agree with the bad casting thing, in the original she was a kid, not a teenager, Disney buys the rights to the book and does this to it?! When Walt bought a book, he stuck to the source material with some minor changes, but not surprised, and even when he was gone, when they adapted something, they usually either changed very little or,in some cases, like the original Freaky Friday,Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Holes,got the writer of the book to write the screenplay.
Sadly, Louise Fitzhugh passed away in the 70's, so we'll never have her thoughts on either adaptation of her works
