One Direction (Author)

Book Description

Release date: May 22, 2012 | Age Range: 8 and up

It's hard to believe how much has changed for us in just a few months. From five guys who didn't even know each other to making it to The X Factor final, heading off on our first tour, recording our first album, and releasing our own music, we've written this book so you can get to know who we really are, where we came from, and where we're going next.

This is our story of life as One Direction so far, and we're really proud to share it all with you!

"It's no exaggeration to say we're having the time of our lives right now, and it would not be happening if it wasn't for you. Thank you for all your unbelievable support."

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast fun read October 3, 2011

This was a fast fun read. I made it through in just two days. It feels like the boys are speaking right to you and you really do learn a lot of cool facts about them, the show (X Factor) and their journey to becoming pop starts. I really liked how the book was organised. Each guy has a chapter in which they pretty much cover similar details. That may sound boring to you but it is actually cool because you get each of their perspectives. At the end of each of their chapter is a good list of random facts. All throughout there are pictures - quite a few of them so the book isn't as long as it looks.

Dare to DreamI bought this book for my granddaughter and she loves, loves, loves it. She loves anything to do with One Direction but regardless of that, this book is good value. Great quality and beautiful photos. It arrived much faster than I expected. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the book, and the service. I'm not sure which repetition of reading the book my granddaughter has reached now. I know it's a good few more than one, and she only got it at Christmas.
