THE GIVER QUARTET - MESSENGER Paperback

Messenger, the third installment in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet, returns to the familiar setting of Village but introduces a new protagonist, Matty, a young boy with the unique ability to heal. As Village begins to close its borders to outsiders and its once harmonious community starts to unravel with selfishness and suspicion, Matty, along with the blind Seer, Kira from Gathering Blue, and Jonas from The Giver, must use their special gifts to try and save their home and the interconnected communities from a looming darkness, exploring themes of compassion, sacrifice, and the true meaning of community in a world facing profound change.
