Ingenious follows the story of three children, Sally, Patch and Spikey, as they unwittingly release a genie – Genius – from a bottle. With Genius around, things are fun but also a little strange as he brings the world of magic into their lives.

Written by Jeanette Winterson ( Oranges are not the Only Fruit; Tanglewreck), Ingenious is an enigmatic children’s drama filled with magic and excitement.

As Sally and Patch dream of a dragon that has been spotted by local author, Lucas Summer, they are on a mission to discover where he’s hiding and what he wants?

Meanwhile, local villain Derek Reckitt is determined to get his hands on Sally’s farm. The kids are desperate to keep it from his clutches but can they find the dragon and save the farm?

INGENIOUS WILL FEATURE ON BBC ONE AND CBBC IN DECEMBER 2009
