Book Description
for Autumn Street by Lois Lowry
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A subtle and haunting memory piece unfolds as an adult looks back on the events of her sixth year when her father fought in World War II and when the remaining family lived with relatives. Childhood innocence enables grim and suspense-filled human events to be sustained. (First Place Winner: CCBC Mock Newbery Vote, January, 1981)
