The mirror has an article about a boy of 6 being offered a 23 book deal.

But is it the real deal or not? The commenteer’s over there don’t think so.

This could be really terrible for the boy if they are right, and really good if they are wrong.

Personally, I could see them doing a deal for a book or two if the boy was really good at reaching out to his age group, but a 23 book deal? Come off it!

For once I really hope I’m wrong.

The sun has some more information but it appears that information is quite scant out there.

“He will write under the same pseudonym as his mum, JS Huntlands, to protect his privacy.”

Update: Writer Beware have also stated that this is a scam. http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-media-gets-it-wrong.html
