Told in three separate story lines, Lois Lowry’s SON combines elements from the first three novels in her Giver Quartet - THE GIVER (1994 Newbery Medal winner), GATHERING BLUE, and MESSENGER - into a breathtaking, thought-provoking narrative that wrestles with ideas of human freedom. Thrust again into the dark, claustrophobic world of THE GIVER, readers will meet an intriguing new heroine, fourteen-year-old Claire. Jonas from THE GIVER is here too, and Kira, the heroine of GATHERING BLUE. In a final clash between good and evil, a new hero emerges.
