Gossamer by Lois Lowry (2006; 140pp)
This is a true Lowry novel. Her imagination filters through our reality making us really think about how dreams happen. This is an extrememly fast and easy read that takes us through the training of Littlest. As she begins to learn the techniques of “bestowal” she becomes dutifully attached to an older woman and her boy. It become Littlest’s duty to help strenghten and protect the pair.
This is a great quick read and only has an AR point value of 4, but don’t let the easy reading level fool you. Lowry’s beautiful descriptions and carefully chosen vocabulary makes it a wonderful book!
