Title: The Giver 

Author: Lois Lowry

    About me

    I read a lot. (Probaby too much to be healthy). I wanted people to benefit from all the time I spend in other worlds, so I share good (and not as good) examples of craft of writing issues. Things such as point of view, narration, world building, character development, and more.

    I live in London. I'm a history nerd. I like whisky. I'm a hiking enthusiast and a museum fanatic.
    Let's discuss your book!
