Synopsis "Gossamer "

From the two-time Newbery Medal-winning author of Number the Stars and The Giver comes a novel about how even the smallest of dreams can break through the darkest of nights. Where do dreams come from? What stealthy nighttime messengers are the guardians of our most deeply hidden hopes and our half-forgotten fears? This imaginative novel from New York Times bestselling author Lois Lowry confronts these questions and explores the conflicts between the gentle bits and pieces of the past that come to life in dream, and the darker horrors that find their form in nightmare.In a haunting story that tiptoes between reality and fantasy, two people--a lonely, sensitive woman and a damaged, angry boy--face their own histories and discover what they can be to one another, renewed by the strength that comes from a tiny, caring creature they will never see.

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. Author of more than 30 books for young readers including "The Giver" and "A Summer to Die". She has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Newbery Medal for The Giver. She lives between Cambridge and an old farm in Maine.
