Den utvalde är en andlöst krypande skildring av hur en diktatur maskeras till demokrati. Språkligt en njutning. Eftersom det slutar i en rejäl cliffhanger bör förstås de efterföljande tre delarna i kvartetten snarast få svenska språkdräkter."Gull Åkerblom, BTJ

Jonas lever i ett samhälle utan konflikter, fattigdom, arbetslöshet eller skilsmässor. En värld där allt fungerar och ingen är missnöjd. Men Jonas är spänd. Spänd inför den årliga ceremonin då samhällets alla tolvåringar ska säga adjö till sin barndom och tilldelas en livsuppgift. I år är det hans tur. Under ceremonin väljs Jonas ut att bli samhällets nya minnesbevarare. Han får gå i lära hos den gamla minnesbevararen, en man som han kallar Givaren. Ju mer tid Givaren och Jonas tillbringar tillsammans, desto mer övertygad blir Jonas om att något är fel, alldeles fasansfullt fel. Han börjar allt tydligare förstå vilka mörka hemligheter som döljs bakom den perfekta fasaden.

Suggestivt gastkramande berättelse om ett på ytan perfekt samhälle. Den utvalde är första delen i en serie om fyra titlar.

Lois Lowry är född 1937 i Honolulu, Hawaii och uppvuxen i New York. Hon har skrivit mer än trettio böcker för barn och unga och har i sitt hemland USA belönats med många litterära priser.

Annemarie kunde inte minnas det så väl, alltihop. Egentligen hade det börjat den där kvällen, när Ellen skulle sova över hos henne. Det hade hon gjort många gånger förut, men nu var det blodigt allvar. Tyskarna var på jakt efter alla judar i Köpenhamn, sa mamma, och nu måste de försöka rädda Ellen. De skulle låtsas att hon var Annemaries syster och inte alls hörde hemma i den judiska grannfamiljen. Redan samma natt dök de tyska soldaterna upp. Det var när Annemarie hörde det tunga stöveltrampet utanför sovrumsdörren som hon kom att tänka på något: runt Ellens hals hängde den avslöjande stjärnan av guld i sin tunna kedja. Lois Lowry har skrivit mer än trettio ungdomsböcker för vilka hon vunnit en rad priser. För "Den gyllene stjärnan" tilldelades hon The John Newbery Medal, som är ett av USA:s finaste litteraturpriser för barn och ungdomslitteratur.

"Skrämmande aktuell." Ingrid Bossedal, Göteborgs Posten
"Spänning ända till den sista hjärtskärande sidan." Hazel Rochman, Booklist
"En tankeväckande och gripande berättelse." Publishers Weekly
Föräldralösa Matt bor i en fredlig by där de svaga och sjuka tas om hand och gränserna är öppna. Människor flyr hit från förtryck och förföljelse. Matts bästa vän Kira bor på andra sidan skogen i ett samhälle där hon valt att stanna, trots dess auktoritära regim. Matt har rollen som byns budbärare, en uppgift som kräver mod och osjälviskhet. Men klimatet hårdnar även i hans by. Röster höjs för att bygga en mur som håller främligar ute. Samtidigt tätnar skogen och blir en ogenomtränglig och livsfarlig plats. Matt måste göra en allra sista resa. Han måste hämra Kira.
En tankeväckande framtidsdystopi, brännande aktuell i ett Europa där gränser stängs och intolernas frodas. Budbäraren är tredje delen i en serie om fyra titlar.

In the tradition of her bestselling, award-winning phenomenon, The Giver, Lois Lowry delivers a story about censorship, comfort, complicity, and the radical power of books to open portals and unlock our humanity through our most powerful tool: the imagination. Twins Tessa and Theo live in a world ruled by the tyrannical Koziris, where there are no dangers or rebels… or so they've been told. In this world, citizens live long lives, and while many hate Koziris, they are comfortable and safe. So, when Tessa's brother disappears, nobody wants to discuss it. But then Miriam, their 135-year-old neighbor, slips Tessa a key – not only to her brother's disappearance, but to the source of all real magic … books.As Tessa and her parents begin their search for Theo, Tessa learns that books not only tell us stories – they open portals and unlock our humanity through our most powerful tool: the imagination. Once that truth has been revealed, Tessa won't be able to rest until she has retrieved her twin and society itself has been transformed.Two-time Newbery-winner Lois Lowry has crafted a narrative that feels at once prescient and eternal: in this world, the imagination is the revolution. Not only does Building 903 sit in the same resonant space as The Giver Quartet, but it is also a profound addition to Lois's enduring body of work – and a testament to the strength and value of her voice, vision, and legacy.

Newbery Medalist and New York Times bestselling author Lois Lowry transports readers to an Iron Age world through the suspenseful dual narrative of a boy and girl both battling to survive. In an utterly one-of-a-kind blend of fiction and history, a master storyteller explores the mystery and life of the 2,000-year-old Windeby bog body.
Estrild is not like the other girls in her village; she wants to be a warrior. Varick, the orphan boy who helps her train in spite of his twisted back, also stands apart. In a world where differences are poorly tolerated, just how much danger are they in?
Inspired by the true discovery of the 2,000-year-old Windeby bog body in Northern Germany, Newbery Medalist and master storyteller Lois Lowry transports readers to an Iron age world as she breathes life back into the Windeby child, left in the bog to drown with a woolen blindfold over its eyes.
This suspenseful exploration of lives that might have been by a gifted, intellectually curious author is utterly one of a kind. Includes several arresting photos of archeological finds, including of the Windeby child.

From two-time Newbery medalist Lois Lowry comes this warm and resonant story of an unlikely friendship, which unfolds as a revelation on how we hold on to—and pass on—what matters most.The latest compelling work from the master storyteller.When precocious eleven-year-old Sophie sets out to save her elderly neighbor (who is also her dearest friend), her journey will take her through their familiar suburban landscape and then, steadily yet unexpectedly, deeper into a landscape of history and shared stories.Everyone knows the two Sophies are best friends. One is in elementary school, and one is . . . well . . . in a little trouble of late. She’s elderly, sure, but she’s always been on her game, the best friend any girl struggling to fit in could ever have. The Sophies drink tea, have strong opinions about pretty much everything, and love each other dearly. Now it seems the elder Sophie is having memory problems, burning teakettles, and forgetting just about everything. It looks like her son is going to come and get her and steal her away forever. Young Sophie isn’t having that. Not one bit. So she sets out to help elder Sophie’s memory, with the aid of her neighborhood friends Ralphie and Oliver. But when she opens the floodgates of elder Sophie’s memories, she winds up listening to stories that will illustrate just how much there is to know about her dear friend, stories of war, hunger, cruelty, and ultimately love.

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.
