Teachers at the Soaring Hawk Elementary School in Castle Rock were so amused by his work that they suggested he sell copies at a book fair for three dollars a piece, attracting attention that has culminated in a HarperCollins book deal for How To Talk To Girls.
He has also made an appearance on the daytime chat show hosted by comedian Ellen DeGeneres and signed a Hollywood film deal with Fox.
