How To Talk To Girls, by Alec Greven

Book Cover Book Cover Book Cover

Only nine years old and he not only knows how to talk to girls, he has a contract with HarperCollins to publish his book. Alec Greven originally wrote his book How To Talk To Girls in response to a school assignment. A self-published book led to a book fair, which led to an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres Show, which led HarperCollins publishing How To Talk To Girls, which led to a three book contract.

I think I am going to show this to my ten year old and shame him into getting out and getting a job.
