A Book of Memories
Many readers have asked Ms. Lowry where she gets her ideas. This book is her response.
I really like how the book is organized. Each section begins with a few sentences from one of her books. The chapters within the section reveal parts of her life and how her life directly influenced a specific idea or just a phrase. The book is loosely organized chronologically.
When I was in sixth grade, one of my favorite series was Anastasia Krupnik. As I read this book, I was delighted to discover how many of Anastasia's quirks, ideas and statements were based on Lois Lowry's life.
*Highly recommend (I basically read this book in two sittings. Very easy to read yet a literary delight!)
-Borrowed from the library.
-The library has it categorized as "young adult".
