By William Compson

Book Overview

While it's practically impossible for any middle school reader not to know about the blockbuster success of the Harry Potter novels, few Potter fans actually have much insight into the life of the woman who penned the popular books-J. K. Rowling. After all, she rarely gives interviews. Not to worry. With the investigative skills of the best bloodhound, Compson has been methodical about his research. The result is a fascinating look at behind-the-scenes information on J. K. Rowling and how she came up with the idea for the Harry Potter books. Also noted is her participation in the making of the first Harry Potter movie and some of her favorite books.
