You may recognize Lois Lowry as the author of two Newbery Medal winners,
The Giver and
Number the Stars.
The Giver, a dark and thought-provoking YA novel, is 23rd on the American Library Association's 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2000-2009 list.
Number the Stars is a children's novel about the Holocaust. However, what you may not know is that Lois Lowry is also the author of more than thirty other books for children and young teens.
