Have you ever had an incredible idea but couldn't find a pen to
write it down? That is exactly what happened to Joanne (J.K.)
Rowling in 1990! Stuck on a delayed train for four long hours, she
dreamed up a magical story about a young wizard named Harry Potter.
But getting the boy with the lightning scar into bookstores wasn't
magic at all—it was seriously hard work! Join Mira and Finn as they
travel back to the 1990s to uncover the amazing true story of how
Harry Potter was made. Discover how a struggling single mom wrote
her first book in cozy coffee shops while her baby slept in a
stroller. You will be completely shocked to learn that twelve
different major publishers said "NO!" to the manuscript. Who
finally said yes? An eight-year-old girl named Alice who read the
first chapter and demanded more! From scribbling ideas without a
pen to selling over six hundred million copies worldwide, learn how
the greatest children's book series in history came to life. It is
the ultimate story about why you should never, ever give up on your
dreams!
