Granada Ventures has announced that HarperCollins has acquired worldwide publishing rights to the Bella Sara Trading Card Game property from Hidden City Games, which targets 5-12 year-old girls and has sold over 40 million trading cards.  HarperCollins' rights extend to all publishing formats including story books, activity books, and illustrated/graphic novels. 

 

Meanwhile Codemasters has been named Bella Sara's video game publisher for the world (excluding Scandinavia).  Codemasters will launch its first wave of Bella Sara videogames (for the Nintendo DS) in time for the 2008 holiday season.

 

HarperCollins and Codemasters join Sababa Toys (see "Sababa Toys Launching Bella Sara Line") as key licensees for the burgeoning Bella Sara property.
