Lois Lowry



===** It's fun to write about Lois Lowry but not as much fun as it is to be with her. She's a witty, clever, interesting woman with lots of facets to her life. She's a great conversationalist, she knits, is an avid and eclectic reader and movie-goer, and besides that, she likes to play bridge and garden. She's an excellent cook and her cookbook collection is enormous and varied. Her home is full of bookshelves which, of course, are full of books and, since she has a great need for order, her books are carefully arranged with her own rather eccentric system with no apologies to Dewey. **=== ===** As a child whose father was in the military, she moved around a lot and spent the years of World War II with her mother's parents in central Pennsylvania before joining her father in post war Japan. That book, by the way, has a beautiful prologue which sets the tone for the book while foreshadowing its action. **===

** ﻿Why do you need to make choices? **
===** You need to make choices because it will take you to a better place. You can be more educated about who you hang out with, who you talk to, and who you be around. If you be around the wrong people then you are making the wrong choice. The wrong choice is the people who get you in trouble. **===
