                                          Book Review of Lois Lowry’s The Willoughbys 

by Laura Huddleston

 

Lois Lowry is one of the most celebrated authors in contemporary children’s literature with over 30 titles to her credit.  A two time winner of the Newberry Medal for The Giver and Number the Stars, Lowry’s imagination is highly decorated with honors and awards. 

 

In The Willoughbys she treats us to a relatively short but complete tale of four children who long to become truly “old-fashioned” children.  Indeed, the Willoughby children do suffer from various troubles that typically affect old-fashioned children such as those found in classic children’s tales like Mary Poppins, Hansel and Gretel, Pollyanna and more.
