I loved the storyline and lessons that Lois Lowry weaves into her books. I was disappointed that the book ended the way it did. It was not a bad ending; but I like more closure in my endings. If you liked "The Giver" you will enjoy this. I am looking forward to reading the other two books in thi...
A touching story of a girl who has survived. Survived being born into a world where disability is a death sentence, survived her mother's death, survived incredible odds. Now she's valued for her ability with dye and threads and has a purpose but there are mysteries around her life, mysteries that...

I first read Gathering Blue when I was in high school. I didn't remember the name of the book or the characters in it, but I knew enough about it to remember that I really liked it and finally was able to figure out what it was.I think I like it better than The Giver. Blasphemy, I know. I can't quit...
