The Willoughbys Return by Lois Lowry

The Willoughbys Return by Lois Lowry

Everything has turned out just splendidly, except for one problem: Richie Willoughby, son of Timothy Willoughby, is an only child and is quite lonely.Winifred and Winston Poore have long admired the toys of their neighbor Richie Willoughby and finally befriend the mysterious boy next door.

"The Willoughbys Return offers plenty of delightful silliness for younger readers too, from its nuttily arch dialogue to its winningly absurdist plot and subplots... Lowry proves yet again that she has the imaginative power to transport."—New York Times Book Review   "An entertainingly absurd revival that recalls Roald Dahl’s oeuvre."—Publishers Weekly   "Archly comedic.... Lowry’s exaggerated characters and breezy, unlikely plot are highly entertaining."—Kirkus   "Lowry exaggerates and gently mocks the conventions of old-fashioned fiction, while capturing readers with her sure-handed storytelling and wry wit."—Booklist    —
