The series that includes Kid Presidents, Kid Artists, and Kid Athletes now chronicles the lives of Kid Authors! Here are true tales of famous writers, from long before they were famous—or even old enough to drive. Did you know:
• 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!
The diverse and inclusive cast includes Roald Dahl, Beverly Cleary, J. K. Rowling, Langston Hughes, Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll, Stan Lee, and many more.

I want this book.
This book looks interesting I hope I can get a copy of it soon! PLZ
Its amazing
I would love to win a copy of Kid Authors: True Tales of Childhood from Famous Writers (Kid Legends). I’ve read books by some of the authors and have only heard of some. I have written to J.K. Rowling for a class project. I know Stan Lee is famous for all the Marvel superheroes. I love writing my own stories and hope to write a book when I grow up that someone on here might win to read someday. I would love to read stories about them as kids for more inspiration.
Can I have it please? I found this book fascinating!
