In a familiar yet dissimilar globe , a young student finds out they have a penchant for illusion and go to schooltime to instruct more about it . No , this is n’t Harry Potter . While it may seem similar on the aerofoil The Paper Magician series is actually quite different — and Disney just purchase the movie rights to it .
Written by author Charlie N. Holmberg , The Paper Magician is the first in a trilogy of book about a immature girl named Ceony Twill . In her world , magicians manipulate and animate man - made materials and learn to do so at the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined . However , Ceony is n’t assigned metal , the most honored material to wreak with . She ’s given the less - important paper , which puts her in a unparalleled office when a Modern evilness appears in the world .
It ’s a funny premiss for a book and , with Disney now in control , a very challenging one for a movie , too . Producer Allison Shearmur , who worked on The Hunger Games , Cinderella , and Rogue One , is in boot of development .
And , of course , if the pic happens and is a success , there are two sequels out there too . There ’s The Glass Magician and The Master Magician , all of which were written by Holmberg , who got her get-go as an author publish Star Trek fan fable .
