Kids writer Tish Cohen and 9 Story Entertainment have struck a deal to turn her novel The Invisible Rules of Zoë into a live-action TV series.

The story follows a seventh-grader who offers advice to classmates, teachers and friends based on her unwritten rules.

9 Story president and CEO Vince Commisso optioned the title following talks with Cohen’s agent, Los Angeles-based UTA. Cohen’s recent sequel, The One and Only Zoë Lama, will also get the small-screen treatment.

UTA earlier sold the film rights for Cohen’s debut novel Town House to Fox Studios and Scott Free Productions, which are developing it as a feature film to be lensed by John Carney (Once), with Doug Wright (Bunny Lake Is Missing) penning the adapted screenplay.

Commisso says the TV project will be developed into 13 episodes, and possibly 26 contingent on international presales.
