The authors style in this book I thought was one of intrigue or captivation. I thought of these styles because while reading the book the author creates time of intellectually stimulating moments were you are asking yourself what just happened leaving to read one and find out what happens next. She utilizes these techniques through a variety of ways including dialogue, plot, and characterization.

Lois lowry also draws the reader in by the use of intriguing diction and syntax. This creates a compelling and alluring side of the book that shows how a word or phrase can be interpreted into a various amount of different meanings. Even the smallest context like when Lois Lowry uses the word "dwelling" rather than "home"it creates a sense of riveting vocabulary that pulls you in even more as a reader.
