| 1. The Giver |

By: Lois Lowry

January 24, 2006
The Giver by Lois Lowry is a small book that takes you on a an incredible ride. It's not a new book, it was written in 1993. I think I was twelve or thirteen when I first read it, but it's an excellent book for adults to read as well.
I can confidently say that this book is my favourite book. I don't think I've ever used my imagination as much as I have reading this book.

This last book of the series was great. It has a great message about society and selfishness and materialism. The book is written in a easy manner to read that allows everyone to understand the message of the book. It was a great deal of fun to read and I am now going to read a lot more of Lois Lowrey's books. What a fun day of reading and thinking. I thank the author and challenge young and old... more

By: Lois Lowry
Publisher: Yearling
March 23, 2010
I picked up the audio version of The Willoughbys for a family roadtrip with my husband and kids (we're in our early thirties, kids are 7, 4, and 2). We all thoroughly enjoyed the story and the way in which it was read--so much fun we listened to it more than twice--some parts were so good we had to re-listen. Even the younger two enjoyed listening, even if they didn't really get the story (I'll not... more

By: Lois Lowry

January 08, 2008
I read this book because I really enjoyed reading The Giver and Number the Stars. These are two books I've considered re-reading since I am now young professional age.
Gossamer is a cute story about a new dream-giver that shows curiosity and excitement over everything that is new to her--which is everything! She is young and full of innocence but at the same time a wise young..thing... more

| 9. Gooney Bird and the Room Mother |
|
By: Lois Lowry
Publisher: Yearling
July 11, 2006
As I began to read the front flap of the book it immediately aroused my curiosity. "Who is the Room Mother?" I think that students in the primary grades will relate to the character and will want to continue to read the rest of the series. Gooney Bird appears to be witty and funny. The book appears to be an enjoyable read. ... more
