#ICYMI: Lion Forge Entertainment is partnering with Rebel Girls to adapt their new fiction series, "Secret Society of Rebel Girls," into an live action series! 🎥📚 The first book in the series, "Secret Society of Rebel Girls: Nina and the Mysterious Mailbox," follows a middle-grader who receives a surprising reply after writing to #Cleopatra during detention. This empowering coming-of-age fantasy, created by children's television writer Anna McCleery, centers around a group of young girls who seek advice and inspiration from historical women across various eras. 💕 With over 11 million copies of existing Rebel Girls books sold and 50 million audio listens, we recognize the immense potential of this IP to captivate audiences. 📈 Our president and chief creative officer, Stephanie Sperber, is spearheading the development of a half-hour animated series treatment for children aged 7-12. 🎬👧 We can't wait to collaborate with Rebel Girls and McCleery to bring this inspiring story to life on screen. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking project! 🚀 #adaptations #books #lionforge
