Kathryn Report post Posted August 21, 2009 This boy has been in the news before because of his educational battles - there was a thread discussing it a while ago but I can't find it. So glad he's finally achieved his goal. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So glad he's finally achieved his goal. K x There was a quite lengthy piece in the Guardian 4th July 2009 about him. I don't have the technology to add it so have pasted small exert. When Alex Goodenough was 13, his English teacher asked his class to write the first chapter of a novel. Alex began writing his, and after chapter one he thought he might as well carry on. He kept writing and writing - about space-faring aliens killing each other - and when the day came to submit his work, he handed in 97,000 words. An entire novel.
