Netflix is celebrating World Book Day with some news of its own. “Geek Girl,” the series adaptation of Holly Smale’s debut novel of the same name, is set to premiere on the streamer May 30.
The Waterstones Children’s Book Prize winner follows the story of Harriet Manners, an awkward 15-year-old English girl who’s plucked from obscurity to be part of a high-profile fashion advertising campaign. She has to balance this wild new adventure with the pressures of her everyday life and her school bully. The limited series stars Emily Carey as its lead.
That’s far from the only book adaptation Netflix is releasing this year.
