Oh LeWen is only nine but he has written and published his debut book, ‘Anthony Foxter, Teenage Spy’. The protagonist, Foxter is full of personalities and wits. He is on a mission to search for a destructive nuclear bomb, enduring various adventures along the way.

Oh has been taking private lessons with Ms. Christine Wee of English Champ since he was six years old. “He is an attentive child who has always loved writing,” says Christine. “His mind is full of imagination and creativity. He has a passion for reading, especially spy stories.”

Oh’s family members are very supportive of his book.  In fact, his older sibling was the one who had helped to design the book cover for him.  They will also be there to support his book sale. 

With his book published, it is an encouragement to other young students to write and publish books. As quoted by Audrey Hepburn, “Nothing is impossible because impossible means I’m possible”.
