Twelve-year-old Jonas lives in a seemingly perfect community where pain, war and hunger have been eliminated — until he is chosen as the new Receiver of Memory and discovers the unsettling truth behind his world's calm surface. Gathering Blue moves to a harsher settlement, following Kira, an orphaned girl with a physical disability and an extraordinary talent for weaving, as she is drawn into the secrets of the Council of Guardians. Messenger reunites familiar characters in Village, a once-welcoming community turning fearful and closed, where young Matty must undertake a dangerous journey through a changing forest to save the people he loves. Son brings the quartet to its powerful conclusion, following Claire, a Birthmother who will risk everything to find the son who was taken from her at birth. Together, these four novels build a richly imagined world questioning conformity, memory, sacrifice and what it means to be human. Lowry's spare, precise prose has made this series a modern classic, studied in classrooms and cherished by generations of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete four-book paperback collection in one set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewbery Medal-winning opening novel, The Giver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of dystopian and speculative fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThought-provoking themes ideal for classroom and book club discussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value way to own the full quartet together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lasting gift for readers aged 9 and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLois Lowry is the author of more than thirty novels for young readers and a two-time winner of the Newbery Medal, for The Giver and Number the Stars.
