Amazon Options The Stolen Child
Amazon.com has optioned screen rights to Keith Donohue’s bestselling novel The Stolen Child.
The novel, by first-time writer Donohue, combines literature and fantasy and covers issues of identity. The story follows a 7-year-old who is kidnapped by forest-dwelling changelings who replace him with a look-alike. The book tracks the changeling’s attempt to meld into a family and the boy who roams the woods with a pack of feral children.
The movie marks Amazon’s first foray into content creation not limited to its Web site. Amazon will next move to secure a filmmaker and then a studio partner to turn the book into a live-action feature.
