Summary: An Interesting Allegory
Review: This book has been described as a sequal to The Giver, and it is, in a way. It is still an excellent story, despite the fact that it isn't quite what I expected. Jonah's world from The Giver is not revisited; instead, she has created a society that is pretty much a polar opposite, though the problems in the society are essentially the same. I highly recommend this book, and I cannot wait for the upcoming sequel.

Summary: Amber's Awesome Review
Review: Gathering Blue was written by an author that I really enjoy reading. Louis Lowry also wrote a book called The Giver. The Giver was one of my favorite books. For some reason I thought Gathering Blue was going to be like The Giver. Little did I know, Gathering Blue was nothing like it. The two books had kind of the same style, but with the characters, they were all different. I would not recommend reading Gathering Blue, however, if you are a reader that enjoys reading boring, uninteresting books, then Gathering Blue is the book for you!

Summary: Gathering Blue
Review: Gathering Blue was an excellent book. I truley enjoyed the story. It had many interesting twists to it. The only disapointing part was the ending. The book just kind of ended with a lot things hanging there. When I read the interveiw with Ms. Lowry at the end of me and heard that there was going to be another book to follow it I was very excited to see what would happen next. I would reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys a good book but dosn't mind waiting for the next book(I'm not sure if it is out yet).

Summary: Wonderful Gathering Blue
Review: The book was beautifuly crafted by Lois Lowry. I'm a big fan of Lois Lowry's many other books as well. Gathering Blue was amazing. It very much follows the Giver. It is set in a futuristic but very primitive world too. It is about a girl named Kira who's father dies before she was born and her mother who just passed away from the start of the book. Kira has an amazing talent and a great disability. Kira can make extraordinary, intricit weavings but has a cripled leg. In the town people with disabilities are looked negatively upon. One woman hates Kira named Vandara because of her disability and wants her property. So Vandara goes to the court and wants to have Kira go to the field where people die. Will Kira's life be saved or not? This was a wonderful book, that made you really ponder. This is a great book for many, many ages . I highly reccomend this book for ages 11 and above.

Summary: This book will blow you away!!
Review: If you've ever read The Giver, you probably fell in love with it. This book revives the story again, except this time with a young girl with an extraordinary talent for weaving. The first page had me hooked, and the last had me realed in.

Review: This is a very good book it tells how things can change in an amount of time. To start off, it is about a girl whose mother died of decease. Beasts ate her father but actually his friends took out his eyes while they were hunting for meat. She meets a young woodcarver and very young singer. They are all to become the new woodcarver, singer, and weaver. This land does not except injured or not perfect people. They work and meet new people in this story to find their future.

Summary: Gathering Blue
Review: Gathering Blue is about Kira, a girl who was born with a twisted leg and the ability to weave beautiful cloth. Normally the village people would take deformed babies to the field, a place where someone who was dead or deformed would supposedly be eaten by beasts. However, her mother protested, and because Kira's father was going to be a member of the Council of Guardians when he returned from a hunt, they let her stay. (The Council of Guardians was a group of leaders. If you were part of this group, you were considered very wise.) It happened that her father never returned; many villagers claimed that he was killed by beasts. After her mother died because of an unknown disease, the Council of Guardians invited her to join them. Her job at the Council was to prepare the singer's robe, a robe worn once a year by a man who sang about Kira's people's past. The job of preparing the singer's robe was very difficult because the robe had many tiny stitches. When she finished this task she had to fill in an open space with stitches. The one color she didn't have was blue, and this was the one color she longed for. While she completed the task of the singer's robe, she discovered many secrets of the Council and its companions/helpers. I enjoyed this book entirely, especially because it describes Kris feelings so well. This is a good book for you, especially if you enjoy unpredictable stories. Gathering Blue is best for children 10 and over.
