TUPELO, Miss. (AP) William Faulkner was 29 years old. Richard Wright was 30. John Grisham, Eudora Welty and Greg Iles were all around age 33. But Atiya Henley was just 10 years old when she published her first book.
Atiya Henley will enter the fifth grade at West Clay Elementary this school year, but unlike most — if not all — of her classmates, she s already a published author.
