Although I think THE GIVER is my favorite of all of hers. Can't imagine someone trying to rewrite Lois Lowry! And writing in a library book is appalling.<br /><br />Nice review, Myrna.

(I once inspected a book on evolution in which someone went through and blacked out every instance of the word with a pen. There are better ways to indicate that one disagrees with an idea. Or Lois Lowry's phrasing . . .)<br /><br />I read this one in elementary school, but I don't remember much about it. I think I'll revisit it sometime :) I do, however, remember The Giver.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118487974961705146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254062323787738480.post-25821499343289587882011-08-29T17:16:17.498-07:002011-08-29T17:16:17.498-07:00I read this a long, long time ago and have always ...I read this a long, long time ago and have always meant to get back to it (so many unread books, though!).

And Calvin and Hobbes are awesome. <br /><br />I wish we could harpoon that library book offender.

My kids and I got to meet Lois Lowry last spring - she does an amazing bookstore visit on top of everything else she does - so our copy of NUMBER THE STARS is signed.
