review:
'Work It, Girl: J.K. Rowling' by Caroline Moss is part of a new series made to help inspire young women. I'm neither young, nor a woman, and I found it very inspiring.
The story of JK Rowling, or Jo as she is referred to here, is one I was familiar with. Here it is presented along with quotes from Jo, and shows her determination to create. The inspiration for Harry Potter is discussed along with how long the story stayed with her. At one point, she quits a job with a very long commute to keep working on the series that would make her famous. The book finishes with 10 takeaways from the life of J.K. Rowling, like 'If you work hard now, it will pay off later' and 'Give back!'
I found this a very inspiring read for younger (and older readers). The book is filled with really nice papercut illustrations, and the quotes add a nice touch to reinforce the message of the book.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
