Big Books of 2026
Lindsay Lock
Lindsay Lock asked Lois Lowry:

My daughters and I are big fans of your historical fiction style books because they bring history to life by personalizing it. Have you thought of writing books featuring other historical events and/ or period?

Lois Lowry I have written several books in that genre: THE SILENT BOY is set in 1911; LIKE THE WILLOW TREE in 1918; and NUMBER THE STARS in 1943.
