Gossamer, by Lois Lowry

What a great imagination!  I love thinking about these thing, trying to come up with ways to explain the why or the how.  Here, we’ve got a quite interesting story about the source of our dreams (and the nightmares) and it’s so eloquently done.  Woven in is the story of an angry boy and a woman who tries to connect with him.  A nice, well written story.  The disappintment comes in it’s being so short.  I recommend it.
I have not read much Lowry other than The Giver, which stands as one of my all-time favorites.  I was able to see Lois Lowry speak here in Knoxville at the grand ‘ol Tennessee Theater.  It was nice.  I coudn’t, however, stand in the extremely long line to get her autograph.
