HoustonChronicle.com – ‘Last in Lowry’s trilogy brings back characters, conflicts
A glowing review of Messenger by Lois Lowry, the concluding book in her trilogy that started with The Giver, which still ranks as one of my favorite children’s books of all time. I can’t wait to get my hands on this final book! Beware the review, since it seems to reveal quite a bit of the plot.

INDUSTRY BUZZ
A nice commentary on the recent success of movies for girls that are based on popular books like The Princess Diaries and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.
