There are now four books across the series, from author Jordan Stratford.<\/p>\n<p>The executive producer for the series will be Steven Andrew, creative director at Zodiak Kids.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew commented: \u201cWe are delighted to be working with Anne-Marie to bring to life this wonderfully inventive and imaginative retelling of these two remarkable young women. Zodiak Kids has brought many entertaining and thought-provoking live-action drama series to children worldwide, such as BAFTA-winning <em>Joe All Alone<\/em>, <em>Secret Life of Boys<\/em>\u00a0and <em>Millie Inbetween<\/em> (CBBC) and <em>The Lodge<\/em> (Disney), and we are looking forward to bringing <em>The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency<\/em> into our portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anne-Marie Asner, founder of Asner Productions, added: \u201cI was drawn to the Wollstonecraft series because of its contemporary feel applied to a period piece for kids. I believe its unstoppable science and literary odd couple girl leads alongside its use of real historic figures, like Ada Lovelace, Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens, will be aspirational role models for viewers. And who wouldn\u2019t want to spend time with brilliant, eccentric and unintentionally funny Ada or feel calmed knowing that savvy, well-mannered and well-read Mary could smooth any social calamity? <em>Wollstonecraft<\/em>\u2019s Ada and Mary are who many of us would like to be or at least have as our best buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zodiak Kids Studios has entered into a co-development deal with Asner Productions to develop a live-action series based on the book series The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":20349,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[298],"class_list":["post-20348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-zodiak-kids-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
