        Denies Walme in Dallas, Texas, USA, now 14 years old, published his best seller “Unbending Gisula” eight years ago. The book is about a little whale(鲸) named Gisula. One day, Gisula did not take his mother’s words and went up the beach(海滩)。Then he got lost and had to learn to live by himself. The color plates were

 

drawn by Denies himself. Denies published the book at the age of six.

        He is said to be the youngest writer and picture artist. Another surprising thing about the book is that it became a best seller immediately after it was published and brought him a lot of money.
