Synopsis "The Silent boy (Random House Reader's Circle) "

Precocious Katy Thatcher comes to realize what a gentle, silent boy did for his family. He meant to help, not harm. It didn’t turn out that way.“The author balances humor and generosity with the obstacles and injustice of Katy’s world to depict a complete picture of the turn of the 20th century.”—Publishers Weekly, StarredFrom the Paperback edition.

Lois Lowry (March 20, 1973, Honolulu, Hawaii) is an American children's literature writer, best known for her work The Giver. Born into a family of Norwegian and German origin, her childhood was marked by constant relocations due to her father's military career, which led her to live in places as diverse as New York, Pennsylvania, or Japan. From a very young age, Lowry showed a passion for reading and writing, and knew early on that she wanted to be an author.

Lowry studied at Brown University, although she interrupted her studies to get married and start a family. Later, she resumed her education and earned a bachelor's degree in English literature from the University of Southern Maine in 1972.

She began her career as a photographer and freelance journalist in the 1970s. Her work caught the attention of Houghton Mifflin, who encouraged her to write her first children's book.
