  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 and nearly no rebels. In this world, citizens live long lives, and while many hate Koziris, they are comfortable and safe. So, when Tessa's brother disappears, this anomaly is quickly swept under the rug. Soon after, when Tessa's 135-year-old neighbor, Miriam Osterman, is bound for the retirement community, she sneaks 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 92 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.

  Acclaimed Debut Book Earns Top Honors from the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2024 Next Generation Short Story Awards, and Prestigious Mom’s Choice Award 
  Inspired by personal experiences with identity theft and wrongful eviction, the author of The Believer within You draws from 29 and a half years in the US Navy to expose hidden corruption within local governments. This award-winning debut novel follows 12-year-old Brenda Sue Bellamy, whose trusty notebook helps her uncover fraudulent real estate practices that threaten her family. 
  Brenda Sue’s investigation reveals how systemic failures in the home-buying process destabilize families—mirroring the author’s own experiences. Her journey offers financial and educational insights for both young readers and adults. Faced with the choice to stay silent or speak out, Brenda Sue’s courage and commitment to justice become central to her story. 
  Recent events, such as the halted illegal foreclosure on Graceland, echo the themes of The Believer within You. These real-world incidents show how real estate fraud endangers families, but with vigilance, much of it can be prevented. 
  Just as Elvis Presley’s granddaughter defended his property rights, Brenda Sue—armed with her notebook—champions the need for vigilance, courage, and self-belief. Based on true stories, The Believer within You highlights the importance of protecting property rights while offering a message of hope and resilience.
