While it seems that nearly everyone has read The Giver, does anyone realize there are three more books? Quick summation: Jonas lives in a community in which everything is regulated and when he is chosen to be the next giver he comes to see that there are some serious wrongs being committed in the community.
In Gathering Blue, Kira has a crippled foot and after her mother dies, is taken in by community leader and mends the story weavers robe, but discovers something sinister about her community.
Messenger follows Matty, who has an important role to play and unites characters from the two previous novels.
The final novel, Son, is on my to-be-read-someday list but follows the story of a young birthmother who forms an attachment with her child (a big no-no)
