Product Description: When Jonas turns 12, he is singled out for special training from The Giver. Now, it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back. * Kira, an orphan with a twisted leg, lives in a world where the weak are cast aside. When she is given a task that no other community member can carry out, Kira soon realizes she is surrounded by many mysteries and secrets--and an extraordinary power of her own. * Matty has always been proud to be Village's Messenger. But now that Village is closing its once-welcoming doors, Matty must make one last journey through the treacherous forest, and must make a great sacrifice to save the place he loves. * The Worlds of Lois Lowry are brought to life through three extraordinary characters, and the unexpected connections among their lives.
the messenger This book was an interesting companion to The Giver and Gathering Blue. In answer to the questions about Gabe and Jonas they both survived and arrived together on the sled. Jonas became leader and Gabe is the mischievous eight year old student that mentor is tutoring early in the book as he has not attended his studies enough and instead has concentrated on playing. He is only mentioned for this couple of lines but the age and name mean that it must be referring to the child Jonas rescued.
The Worlds of Lois Lowry All I can say is: READ THESE BOOKS - you will not be able to put them down. They capture your heart and mind, and, what a wonderful time you will have reading Lowis Lowry. You dont have to be a child to read these books, I am not a child and I throughly enjoyed these books.
Among the best trilogies I remember that my brother bought The Giver for school and he told me it was actually good (which is rare since he doens't like to read) so I decided to read it. I was absolutely emerged with it and keep the name of the author in my mind. One day I saw Gathering Blue and noticed it was by Lois Lowry so I read it without realizing it was a "sequel." I read it and loved it as well and then noticed that the inside flap had The Messenger, so of course I had to read it as well. It was when I finished the last book that I realized it was a trilogy. I loved how she wrote all three books because regardless of having read all three books or not you would not even notice they are related to each other as she writes the books as stand alone pieces. I highly recommned anyone to read these books as they deal with issues that make you think while enjoy a great story.
The Life of Lois Lowry I think Lois Lowry is an amazing writer. My favorite book of all time is The Giver.
Great Set All three of these are wonderful children's books! Having the three in a set together makes a great gift also. I suggest them for advanced 4th graders up to around 7th grade.
