BookPushinCats and the TriState Review posted a very good review of one of my books back on March 29th. I got the Google Alert about it yesterday. Hope you don't mind a little BSP. :-)

Albert, Lisa Rondinelli. Lois Lowry: The Giver of Stories and Memories.
Enslow, 2007. $31.93 128p 978-0-7660-2722-0

This book allows the reader an insight into a popular author. Lois Lowry has written many books, including two Newbery winners. Her most popular, The Giver and Number of the Stars, are covered in this book. Lisa Rondinelli Albert has created an easy to read book for young readers that will inform the readers about the life and books of Lois Lowry. The factual details are interestingly presented as well as informative and educational. The inclusion of several lists, where to obtain more information and a glossary/index make this a useful research tool. The inclusion of web sites for youngsters is also important in school classrooms today. The flow and balance of both the text and full color visuals are integrated to present a very stimulating book for both young and reluctant readers.

This is a very well written book that will relate well to many young readers. It is recommended as a basic book for any middle or junior high school library. LM

YAY, Lisa! It's a giant task to write a book that clearly defines the details of a writer's career as well as the essence of a writer such as Lois Lowry. And you did it! Congrats on the warm and supportive review!

Thanks, Dori! I am very proud of the book. It holds a special place since it was my first and was a joy to research and write.

I never expected reviews, so that's a total bonus!

Ask for it at your library...or wait...I just donated copies of my books to the Muskego library, so come over by mine. :-) Give me a jingle if you do and we can meet for coffee.
