The Trouble Begins at 8

Enjoyably written in the style of Twain himself, this children?s biography of the great writer follows a sassy Samuel Clemens from his boyhood through his many career attempts before he became the renown writer known almost as well for his wonderful quotes as his literature. From attempts to find a life on the river to searching for gold, Twain experienced quite a bit before turning to writing. The title of the book comes from advertising of Twain?s first lecture ever.
