Overview
First published in 1987, Rabble Starkey was one of two-time Newbery Medalist Lois Lowryās first novels. Its powerful and thought-provoking themes continue to touch the hearts of readers today.
By the time she's twelve years old, Parable Ann Starkeyābetter known as simply Rabbleāhas had her fair share of trouble. Her father left her and her teenage mother when Rabble was just one month old, and she went to live with her grandmother Gnomie until she passed away. More than anything, Rabble craves stability, and she may have found it now, living with her mother and the Bigelows.
Rabble and her mother, Sweet Hosanna, have lived over the Bigelowsā garage for the past four years. Veronica Bigelow is twelve, too, and sheās more than Rabbleās best friend; sheās like a sister. When mental illness takes Veronicaās mother to a distant hospital, the Starkeys move into the larger house to help Mr. Bigelow take care of Veronicaās younger brother, Gunther.
As the two families grow closer, Rabble feels more at home than she ever has. Something that feels like family has formed. For Rabble, it feels like foreverābut can it truly last?
Lois Lowry's many beloved books include Number the Stars and The Giver, both recognized with the Newbery Medal.
