Lois Lowry - Books

Book - Anastasia At This Address

Kids: there's nothing wrong with your visiting these pages but the truth is, you'll probably find them boring!

Teachers and Librarians: these are mostly for you. So often I speak at conventions and conferences and it is always a treat to meet so many of you there. But I know there are countless others of you, dedicated and hard-working, who never make it to a convention. So I've included here some copies of speeches that I've given over the years.

Speeches are in PDF format, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free download.
