Kindle Entertainment goes full steam ahead with Adventures on Trains adaptations 

Kindle Entertainment has announced that it has secured film adaptation rights to the popular children’s book series Adventures on Trains following a deal brokered by Morgan Green Creatives.  

The series of six books by authors M G Leonard and Sam Sedgman are published by Macmillan Children’s Books and will be adapted into a family film franchise.

The adventure series follows Harrison and his Uncle Nat as they whizz around the globe in a series of adventures by rail, with thrilling mysteries to solve along the way. The first in the series, The Highland Falcon Thief, was published in January 2020 and won multiple awards including Children’s Fiction Book of the Year at the British Book Awards.

Emma Stuart, creative director at Kindle Entertainment, said: “When I came across this series of best-selling, critically acclaimed books, I was excited by the rare combination of a kid surrounded by fantastic adult characters. We want to create a laugh-out-loud, high-stakes entertaining treat for all the family.” 

Leonard and Sedgman added: “We are stoked that Kindle Entertainment will be reimagining Adventures on Trains for the big screen. Their vision for the screen adaptation of The Highland Falcon Thief 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.”
