The Extraordinary Mark Twain by Barbara Kerley

Texas Bluebonnet 2011-2012 Book

Age Range:  3rd-6th grades

We all know who the famous author, Mark Twain was.  This book tells us about the biography that his daughter, Susy, wrote about him.  She wanted the world to really know who her father was.  Through her journal, she lets the reader see the different sides of Mark Twain.  One feature that this book has is that on many of the pages, there is a mini journal that is attached to the page with words from Susy's real journal.  When Mark Twain wrote his own autobiography, he included some of his favorite passages from Susy's journal.  The last page of the book gives kids a step-by-step guide on how to write a biography.
