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
