Quick Summary
Every superhero started as a kid, and this book proves the world's greatest change-makers were once mischievous, curious children just like readers. Kids will crack up learning that Malala once played pranks on her brothers, Emma Watson hid under tables during Harry Potter filming, and Martin Luther King Jr. got in trouble for mimicking his preacher father's sermons. If your kid loves the "Who Was?" series or "National Geographic Kids" history books, they'll devour these behind-the-scenes peeks into the childhoods of people they only knew as famous adults. Perfect for ages 9 to 13 in grades 4 through 8, this book hits the sweet spot between being simple enough for younger readers and meaty enough for older ones.
