Imagine Kids+Family is teaming with Scholastic Entertainment for a film adaptation of Meika Hashimoto's YA novel The Trail, with Quinn Emmett writing the script, Deadline reported. Imagine Kids+Family president Stephanie Sperber and Scholastic Entertainment president Iole Lucchese and senior v-p and general manager Caitlin Friedman are set as producers. Imagine's Katie Donahoe and Will Davis will serve as creative executives on the project.
"I'm so grateful to be making this film alongside everyone at Imagine and Scholastic," said Emmett. "Even though I'm technically not 12 anymore, I still haven't outgrown all of my own insecurities, and retain my love for hiking, camping, and embarking on reckless adventures. And I'm proud to say I'm nearly self-reliant. I identify deeply with the themes of friendship, loyalty, loss, and the struggle to find my own personal strength."
