Gathering Blue
by Lois Lowry
The story of Kira, orphaned, physically flawed, and left with an uncertain future. This second book in the Giver Quartet has been stunningly redesigned in paperback. As she did in "The Giver" and later "Messenger", in "Gathering Blue" Lois Lowry challenges readers to imagine what our world could become, how people could evolve, and what could be considered valuable.
