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.

I decided to read this because I have always wanted to learn about the Harry potter author and her bio. I enjoy reading Harry potter so when this book came out ,I grabbed the first copy in the bookstore and started reading. I recommend this book to biography lovers

I heard she is a great writer even though I haven't read any of her books

I like JK Rowling because she made the Harry Potter books

Really cool JK ROWLING ROCKS
