Crow Call reviewed by Meghan
Reviewed by Meghan
Lois is a great, nice, charming girl but we all know how hard it is for her because in this book Lois, the main character, she feels like she's missing a piece of herself!
Throughout this book you'll feel all emotions like a topsy turvy bike. Lois is sad and awkward around her family because of her dad. But when her dad comes back, she finally gets to bond. What shows this is when her dad puts her in charge of the crow call - it's an important thing to do!
This is Lois Lowry at her best. And kids and families will love it from everywhere and that's why this is Newberry Medal Winner!
I think this book tells you that it's always "ok" and I love the parts that tell you that. I recommend it for ages 6 and up.
