Lois Lowry won her first Newbery Medal in 1994 for The Giver. Six years later, she ushered readers back into its mysterious but plausible future world in Gathering Blue to tell 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.

Usually when talents are involved with main characters, its always more like painting, singing, sports, or fighting techniques. Ive never really encountered weaving so i thought that was an original. And the thought of ever...
Sebbene collocato nell'ambito del "The Giver Quartet", questo romanzo non ha nulla in comune con il precedente volume, se non l'ambientazione futuristica, anche se in questo caso si tratta di una società non avanzata nè "perfetta".Si intuisce come guerre e catastrofi avvenute in passato abbiamo irri...
