Publisher Description
The third book in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet, which began with the bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning The Giver.
Trouble is brewing in Village. Once a utopian community that prided itself on welcoming strangers, Village will soon be cut off to all outsiders.
As one of the few able to traverse the forbidding Forest, Matty must deliver the message of Village’s closing and try to convince Seer’s daughter Kira to return with him before it’s too late. But Forest is now hostile to Matty as well. Now he must risk everything to fight his way through it, armed only with an emerging power he cannot yet explain or understand.
"Told in simple, evocative prose, this companion to The Giver and Gathering Blue can stand on its own as a powerful tale of great beauty." —Kirkus (starred review)
Messenger is the masterful third novel in Lois Lowry’s Giver Quartet, which includes The Giver, Gathering Blue, and Son.

Hi baby
Doesn’t make sense
The only powers Jonas has is seeing colors and memories. In this book EVERYONE can see colors and Jonas can do other stuff that he wasn’t able to do, and neither was The Giver.
It’s just great.
I love this book, I just love it. It’s nice to know that people go to different communities and that we see Kira from Gathering Blue in this book again.
