Book Review of Gathering Blue (Giver, Bk 2)

Gathering Blue (Giver, Bk 2)
reviewed on


Gathering Blue is a wonderful sequel to Lowry's The Giver. Though it is quite different from The Giver and does not build from the its predecessor, Gathering Blue uses the same colorful imagination and creativity that captures your attention as you journey with Kira, the cripple girl who has defeated the odds of life and whose future is more important than she even knows. Lowry will leave you wanting more at the end and the story draws you in with its sense of adventure and uncertainty of the future.
