Gathering Blue

By Lois Lowry

This book is somewhat of a sequel to "The Giver" It takes place in a very similar time but ina different part of the world. This world is not as controlled or technologically advanced as Jonas's community was. It is the story of a girl with a gift. She fights hard to survive in a brutal and archaic society. This book instills a lack of trust in authority very similar to "The Giver".

Overall: 4 out of 5

Violence: More violence and anger in this book. As well as some death and brutality. one character has his eyes clawed and is left for dead.

Morality: No issues with morality

Language: not an issue

Ages 10 and up
