Palm Beach Pictures and Mind Champs Media, Singapore have joined forces to develop a new Children’s television series based on Brian Caswell’s A Cage of Butterflies. Dangerously Smart is being written by Australian writer Jonathan Empson with a view to producing a 8 X half hour series in Singapore with an international cast. The series will be produced by David Elfick and David Chiem.
Dangerously Smart is based on A Cage of Butterflies, a young adult novel by Brian Caswell, which was first published in 1992 and reprinted 12 times over the next 12 years. This popular book is a classic tale of a group of young teens outsmarting a powerful antagonist with little outside or adult help – a theme shared by countless classic children’s books from The Famous Five and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe through to Harry Potter and Tomorrow, When the War Began to more recent works such as Gone by Michael Grant.
