'Manzo'd' with children's book: Chris Manzo to publish next year

The reality star's book will be called 'Oliver Brightside: You Don't Want That Penny'

From the man who brought you stripper car washes (okay, just the concept) and water that looks like it's been filtered through primordial tar comes the story of a little boy, a lucky penny and a whole lot of cross-marketing potential.

"Manzo'd With Children" star Chris Manzo, who revealed this season that he is turning his attention to writing children's books, will be publishing his first, "Oliver Brightside: You Don't Want That Penny," on March 15 for $16.95 via the independent publishing group All About Kids Publishing. Here's the synopsis:

Oliver Brightside thinks it s going to be another boring day until he finds a heads up penny and remembers the saying, Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you ll have good luck! Oliver's lucky find, not only takes him on a great adventure, but it leads him to something that is absolutely priceless!

"What I love most about this project is the fact that Christopher decided to follow his lifelong dream of writing and make it a reality," mom Caroline Manzo, the former "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star, writes on her Bravotv.com blog.
