I love how Lowry's stories revolve around friendship and relationships, during or post war. <br /><br />It was through one of her lighter novels Gooney Bird Greene that I discovered the author first. http://www.amazon.com/Gooney-Bird-Greene-Lois-Lowry/dp/0440419603/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276827928&sr=1-1 <br /><br />Thanks, Sandhya. Is this the first newbery being reviewed on ST? Yay, if it is so! :)Praba Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124515962155387444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-15676695972637858302010-06-15T00:10:39.340-07:002010-06-15T00:10:39.340-07:00*another in this genre.

Was read in my daughter's mixed age class (6-12 yrs) in Ldn and was much appreciated. Seen it in libes/bookshops here as well. <br /><br />Plus of course there are a whole lot of Morpurgo books.Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.com
