Black-ish star Marsai Martin is working with Walden Media on an adaptation of Ingrid Law’s fantasy novel Savvy for the small screen.

The 2008 book is set in a world where turning 13 means more than just becoming a teenager in the Beaumont family – they also learn their “savvy”, their particular supernatural gift. Mibs isn’t best pleased that her power is to read minds…

“Although this story is laced with supernatural characteristics, at its core it’s the story of a young girl trying to unlock her potential, something that we can all relate to, with or without superpowers,” Martin explained.

“This novel has resonated with children for over a decade, and we’re honoured to have the opportunity to partner with Marsai Martin, one of the youngest producers in Hollywood, to bring this story to a new generation. Savvy is an exciting read, and will be equally as thrilling when brought to life on screen” added Walden CEO Frank Smith.
