About Lois Lowry
Two-time Newbery Medal winner Lois Lowry was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Today she lives and writes in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in a house
dominated by a very shaggy Tibetan terrier named Bandit. Her hobbies
include gardening, knitting, and photography. Her own photos appear on the
covers of her award-winning books Number the Stars and The
Giver.
 Lois
Lowry has written at least 30 novels spanning several genres. Her Anastasia Krupnik
series, set in contemporary Boston, follows with poignant humor the
exploits of Anastasia (a precocious adolescent), her younger brother Sam,
and their artistic parents. Books like Rabble Starkey and A
Summer to Die focus on families and crisis, and examine the strength
and love that bind them together. Number the Stars, Lowry’s first
work of historical fiction and a Newbery Medal winner, is set during the
Holocaust.
The Giver, Lowry’s first work of fantasy and another Newbery
Medal winner, is now joined by its companion novels, Gathering Blue
and Messenger.
