The Girl Who Stole an Elephant optioned for TV!
We are delighted to report that six months after The Girl Who Stole an Elephant by Nizrana Farook first published, and became Waterstones’ Children’s Book of the Month for January, the TV rights have been picked up by Heroic, in a co-production with Blue Bear Film and TV.
Chris Arnold, exec producer, says, 'Heroic are delighted to have acquired the rights for Nizrana's thrilling first novel, The Girl Who Stole An Elephant'. Co-producing with Ian Benson at Blue Bear Film & TV and creatively led by BAFTA and International Emmy award-winning Helen Blakeman (Hetty Feather, Lucy Lost), we look forward to developing the project to bring it to screen.'
Nizrana comments: ‘I’m delighted by this exciting new development as Elephant turns six months old. It’s been a pleasure to see this come together. I feel very lucky that the team of Heroic and Blue Bear Film and TV is so passionate about this project, and their links to the setting make it even more serendipitous.’
The Girl Who Stole an Elephant is a fast-paced adventure story for readers aged 9+. We can’t wait to see how Chaya fares in the world of film & TV. It looks like stealing the queen’s jewels is just the start of her adventures!
