World War I was the first very big war that included almost all countries on the world. This was also known as the First World War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. The war drew in all the world's economic great powers.

The war approached a resolution after the Russian government collapsed in March 1917 and a subsequent revolution in November brought the Russians to terms with the Central Powers. After a 1918 German offensive along the western front, the Allies drove back the Germans in a series of successful offensives and American forces began entering the trenches.

This is about it.. These are the main things about Lois Lowry, which I already talked about in the last review.. Lois was most of her life travelling around the world, not only when she was small (with her family, because of father's work) but also when she was adult, but now it was because of her work.
So this is Lois Lowry life and if you didn't read any of her books, I really recommend you to read something from her.
