9-Year-Old Author Inks Movie Deal

Looks like one fourth-grader not only knows how to talk to girls, he’s also skilled at making money during the financial crisis. Fox has acquired the movie rights to Alex Greven’s How to Talk to Girls, a 46-page self-help book, for “low-to-mid six figures,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The 9-year-old Colorado elementary schooler’s book came out in November and created a splash with its simple yet brilliant advice: “Comb your hair and don’t wear sweats; control your hyperness and cut down on sugar if necessary; a crush is like a love disease that can drive you mad; it is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry but are like cars that need a lot of oil.”
