【作者簡介】
露易絲·勞瑞（Lois Lowry）於1937年3月20日出生於夏威夷的檀香山市。自1976年從事文學創作以來，勞瑞一直恪守一個作家的職責，十分關注青少年的成長以及他們在成長過程中所遇到的問題。她以其獨到的眼光進行著現實主義小說的創作，分析探討一直以來困擾少年兒童的諸多問題，深受廣大青少年讀者的喜愛。她細膩精湛的構思和寫作技巧使她兩度成為美國少年文學最高獎——紐伯裡文學獎章的獲得者。
洛伊絲·勞裡的寫作生涯起步較晚，四十歲時才嘗試完成小時候的夢想——當一名作家。結果卻一鳴驚人，如今她不但是世界知名的作家，還獲得兩次紐伯瑞金牌獎的肯定。除了寫作兒童小說、短篇故事，她也撰寫評論、專業的論文。
她的寫作素材非常廣泛，風格多樣，有生活幽默小說《阿納斯塔西亞 克魯布尼克》（Anastasia Krupnik）、談戰爭與屠殺的《數星星》（Numbm the stars）、描寫未來烏託邦社會的《記憶傳授人》（The Giver），此外還有涉及收養、精神疾病、癌症等議題的二十多本著作，堪稱是一位多才、多變的作家。
Lois Lowry is known for her versatility and invention as a writer. She was born in Hawaii and grew up in New York, Pennsylvania, and Japan. After several years at Brown University, she turned to her family and to writing. She is the author of more than thirty books for young adults, including the popular Anastasia Krupnik series. She has received countless honors, among them the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award, the California Young Reader's Medal, and the Mark Twain Award. She received Newbery Medals for two of her novels, NUMBER THE STARS and THE GIVER. Her first novel, A SUMMER TO DIE, was awarded the International Reading Association's Children's Book Award. Ms. Lowry now divides her time between Cambridge and an 1840s farmhouse in Maine.
【作品簡介】
This Newbery Medal Book describes how a ten-year-old Danish girl's bravery is tested when her best friend is threatened by Nazis in 1943.
Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life.
