Black-ish star Marsai Martin to adapt children’s fantasy novel Savvy as a TV series
-
Author Ingrid Law's 2008 book tells the story of Mibs Beaumont, "who is elated for her upcoming birthday," per Deadline. "Not only does turning 13 officially make her a teenager, but in the Beaumont family, the 13th birthday is when Beaumonts discover their 'savvy,' their own supernatural power. While Mibs’ grandfather can move mountains, and her brothers cause hurricanes and create electricity, her power, the ability to read minds, isn’t exactly the best thing when you’re a teenage girl."
