Kid Authors - True Tales of Childhood from Famous Writers

Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell the tales from the growing-up years of J. K. Rowling, Beverly Cleary, J. R. R. Tolkien, and 12 other great writers. Every great author started out as a kid. Before the best sellers, fan clubs, and beloved stories we know today, the world's most celebrated writers had regular-kid problems just like you. Sam Clemens (aka Mark Twain) loved to skip school and make mischief, with his best friend Tom, of course! A young J. R. R. Tolkien was bitten by a huge tarantula--or as he called it, “a spider as big as a dragon.” Toddler Zora Neale Hurston took her first steps when a wild hog entered her house and started chasing her! Kid Authors tells their stories and more--the diverse and inclusive cast that includes Roald Dahl , Beverly Cleary , J. K. Rowling , Jules Verne , Lewis Carroll , Stan Lee --through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.
