Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell the tales from the growing-up years of Beverly Cleary, J. R. R. Tolkien, and 13 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!

Beverly Cleary,
J. K. Rowling,
Jules Verne,
Lewis Carroll,
Stan Lee--through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.
