What! I can't believe it. This kid is only nine years old and his book, which started out as a school project, is being adapted to the big screen. Heres the full scoop, straight up from Variety.com:
Twentieth Century Fox has optioned rights to "How to Talk to Girls," a newly published advice guide written by Alec Greven, a 9-year-old expert on the subject. The first of a four-book series was published Nov. 25 by HarperCollins, the publishing house that is a sister company to Fox. The film deal encompasses all four volumes.
20th production co-president Alex Young sparked to the story of Greven, who was 8 when he began writing the book as an assignment for his third-grade class, to help classmates break the ice with members of the opposite sex. The result was a pamphlet that sold at his school's book fair for $3. HarperCollins is selling the first of the four editions for $9.99.
Congrats to him but I've been at this writing thing longer than he's been alive and I'm still waiting for my lucky break....maybe I should write How To Talk To Grown Men.
