Book Summary and Reviews of Crow Call by Lois Lowry

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. It's a loving representation of a relationship between parent and child, and an elegy to a less ironic era, while fully relevant for today’s military families." - Publishers Weekly

"The memory of a treasured day spent with a special person will resonate with readers everywhere." - School Library Journal

"Relevant for families whose parents are returning from war, the text is also ripe for classroom discussion and for advanced readers." - Kirkus Reviews
