Fox2 Video: Wentzville 5th Grader Pens Book on Bullying

Matthew Montgomery, or M.M. Scott as his fans know him, recently published his first book at 11 years old. The book tackles bullying in outer space.

Matthew Montgomery, a 5th grader at , has done at age 11 what many authors have failed to do by the time they are 40: publish a book.

Montgomery recently penned his first book, "Aliens in Disguise: Rise of the Heroes" under the pen name of M.M. Scott. Why the pen name? "‘Cause you have to have initials to be cool," he told Fox2 News.

The tale takes place on Jupiter with space ships, dragons and bullying.
