Kid Authors: True Tales of Childhood from Famous Writers (Kid Legends)

Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell the tales from the challenging yet defining growing-up years of J. K. Rowling, Beverly Cleary, J. R. R. Tolkien, and 12 other great writers.
Â
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 tarantulaâ€”or as he called it, â€œa spider as big as a dragon.â€ Toddler Zora Neale Hurston took her first steps when a wild hog entered her house and started chasing her! Kid AuthorsÂ tells their stories and moreâ€”the diverse and inclusive cast that includes Roald Dahl, Beverly Cleary, J. K. Rowling,Â Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll, Stan Leeâ€”through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.
