Our book pick for January is Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry. It is book 2 in The Giver quartet.
Here is some information about the book:
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.
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.
We will be meeting at Debby's house on January 22 at 7:30 for our discussion. Chelsea will be leading our discussion.
