Created by authors M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman and published by Macmillan Children\u2019s Books, the series is set to transform into a family film franchise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are stoked that Kindle Entertainment will be reimagining <em>Adventures on Trains<\/em> for the big screen,\u201d commented Leonard and Sedgman. \u201cTheir vision for the screen adaptation of <em>The Highland Falcon Thief<\/em> is sure to please readers and fans of the series. The talent, passion and ability in the team they are putting together is beyond exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melanie Stokes, managing director for Kindle Entertainment, said: \u201c<em>Adventures on Trains<\/em> are classic whodunnits but with a totally contemporary twist\u2014where a kid from the wrong side of the tracks cracks the crime on a royal steam train.
