Synopsis

May 2024 AudioFile Earphones Award Winner!From two-time Newbery medalist Lois Lowry comes this warm and resonant story of an unlikely friendship, which unfolds as a revelation on how we hold on to—and pass on—what matters most.Everyone knows the two Sophies are best friends. One is in elementary school, and one is . . . well . . . in a little trouble of late. She’s elderly, sure, but she’s always been on her game, the best friend any girl struggling to fit in could ever have. The Sophies drink tea, have strong opinions about pretty much everything, and love each other dearly. Now it seems the elder Sophie is having memory problems, burning teakettles, and forgetting just about everything. It looks like her son is going to come and get her and steal her away forever. Young Sophie isn’t having that. Not one bit. So she sets out to help elder Sophie’s memory, with the aid of her neighborhood friends Ralphie and Oliver. But when she opens the floodgates of elder Sophie’s memories, she winds up listening to stories that will illustrate just how much there is to know about her dear friend, stories of war, hunger, cruelty, and ultimately love.

Tree, Table, Book by Lois Lowry was one of the most beautiful yet powerful books I have read in a very long time.

Three simple, everyday words unearth the story of a woman’s life. Eleven year old Sophie lives with her parents in a small New Hampshire town. She isn’t terribly popular at school…dorky glasses and a passion for good nutrition aren’t much help in that regard. But she does have a best friend whose nam......more

Eleven-year-old Sophie Winslow’s very dearest friend lives next door: 88-year-old Sophie Gershowitz. They spend a lot of time together and enjoy many of the same things, including making up word games, drinking tea and eating cookies. But when old Sophie’s son, an accountant who lives in Akron, beli......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on August 02, 2024

A bright little jewel of a book. I feel like Lowry has transitioned from writing "a year in the life" books like Anastasia Krupnik or Taking Care of Terrific, which did always have one big event they were building to, but did it slowly, to these sort of hyper-focused single event books. Here we have......more

Goodreads review by DaNae on July 11, 2024

A perfect circle of a story, rich in themes and humanity. I just wish I hadn’t been listening the ‘Book’ portion while driving. My vision suddenly became compromised. There was a time, perhaps after reading NUMBER THE STARS, when I found and read every Lois Lowry book I could get my hands on, and an......more
