Everyone loves Harry Potter. Now kids can learn about Harry's creator!In 1995, on a four-hour-delayed train from Manchester to London, J. K. Rowling conceived of the idea of a boy wizard named Harry Potter. Upon arriving in London, she began immediately writing the first book in the saga. Rowling's true-life, rags-to-riches story is as compelling as the world of Hogwarts that she created. This biography details not only Rowling's life and her love of literature but the story behind the creation of a modern classic.

In sixth grade, I wrote a biography of JK Rowling for class. It was about as comprehensive as this, although I didn't know that she made up "Kathleen" for her middle name. This book was okay, but not the best of this biography series.
