"Gathering Blue" is the second book of the "The Giver Trilogy" by renowned Young Adult author Lois Lowry. As described on the author’s website: "In this speculation on the nature of the future of human society, life in Kira's community is nasty, brutish, and, for the ill or disabled, short." [www.loislowry.com] This book, while not necessarily sequential, is a companion to Lowry's 1994 Newbery Award-winning classic "The Giver." It follows similar themes of a primitive future world: a dystopian society with its hidden agendas; and wise & gifted children caught in the web of their world’s harsh yet convoluted cultural ways. We sense the novel's overall foreboding tone with its first words: "Mother?" There was no reply. She hadn't expected one. Her mother had been dead now for four days, and Kira could tell that the last of her spirit was drifting away. ...." Immediately we are introduced to a contrasting world to the high-tech society of "The Giver" - Kira's world is instead primitive; survival of the fittest is the law of the land. Kira, who was born with a disabled leg, should have been left to the wild beasts at birth. But due to other circumstances - her mother's resolve; Kira's own supernatural gift; and advocates on the city council - her life takes an alternate course. "Gathering Blue", like the more well-known "Giver," is certainly dark throughout. However, there are great moments of hope. This book does not reveal such controversial themes; nor are the characters as complex. Much as Kira's world is more simple than in "Giver", so are Lowry's characters. Some are good; some are evil. And many are just existing. Thus, while well-written and innovative, "Gathering Blue" does not leave such a lasting resonance as the "Giver" might. Additionally, unlike the transparent Jonas in "The Giver," we do not relate as well to Kira, whose emotions remain rather subdued and reflective throughout the tale. That saying, Lowry's ability to craft a new world; sympathetic characters; and a hint of the magical, is well-deserving of her public praise. She is considered a pioneer of dystopian young adult fiction; and as that genre has seemingly exploded among today's youth, it was helpful to me, as a future librarian, to see another example of the genre's beginnings.

They figure our that their grandma is the pet chicken in their room and they change her back by taking her to the witch. But by doing this they release the witch from her prison. Now they have to stop the witch from releasing and evil demon called Bahumat and save Falehaven. I like this book because of all the fictional characters. 1. In flawless synchronization, the cloud of fairies swopped, diving toward him. pg. 130 2. The child was replaced by a leering goblin with yellow slits for eyes, and puckered nose, and face like a dried cantaloupe. pg. 173 Those who mess with the rules will be punished. The one thing that. would set this book apart from the rest would be the amount of fictional characters in it.
