| Description: | Lois Lowry is a prolific and wide-ranging author; and considered a significant voice in young adult literature. This evenings conversation with the author concludes a month-long focus on Lowrys books and provocative ideas. Lois Lowry is the author of over 20 books and winner of two Newbury Medals. Her books are used extensively in schools, provoking serious discussion about young adult issues. Speaking of her own writing, Lowry says My books have varied in content and style. Yet it seems that all of them deal, essentially, with the same general theme: the importance of human connections. A Summer to Die, my first book, was a highly-fictionalized retelling of the early death of my sister, and of the effect of such a loss on a family. Number the Stars, set in a different culture and era, tells the same story: that of the role that we humans play in the lives of our fellow beings. |
