Publisher's Summary
Lois Lowry’s Gathering Blue continues the quartet beginning with the quintessential dystopian novel, The Giver, followed by Messenger and Son.
Kira, an orphan with a twisted leg, lives in a world where the weak are cast aside. She fears for her future until she is spared by the all-powerful Council of Guardians. Kira is a gifted weaver and is given a task that no other community member can do. While her talent keeps her alive and brings certain privileges, Kira soon realizes she is surrounded by many mysteries and secrets. No one must know of her plans to uncover the truth about her world and see what places exist beyond.
What the critics say

Captivating Story
This book was absolutely wonderful, and such a great follow up to The Giver. This story could very easily stand on its own, but the fact that it leads up to telling us more about the original book made it even better (and even harder to put down!). I couldn’t stop listening.
The one and only (very small and trivial) complaint that I have, is the way that the narrator pronounced a few words incorrectly, especially “corridor” Lol. The narrator said it like “currider” and it drove me a little nuts, but I just tried to ignore it haha.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
