About

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!


Readers ages 8 to 12 years old will learn all 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.
