Summary

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, Sherman Alexie, Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll, Stan Lee - through kid-friendly texts and full-colour cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.
