there are kids who are genius or gifted. They possess higher IQ than other people. Those qualities are rare and unique. They must be develop to the fullest.

That's interesting. I have a friend who is same age as I am (18 years old) and she is currently working with a publisher to publish her first novel. The novel falls under fantasy genre and is based on a popular online PC game. She loves writing so I guess its a really big step for her to become an author.

Yes, it's not a new thing but I suppose it is still quite rare. It makes sense to me that kids would write good stories. They have such fantastic imaginations which many adults lose. I think it's a good thing that a nine year old boy has been given the encouragement to get his story published and that his imagination has been allowed to develop unlike some other children who spend all their spare time playing computer games or watching tv.

That's nice! It's good if kids have had a writing skill. They can tell stories about themselves. The reader (other kids) will be happy to read stories that's written by their friends.
