"Gathering Blue" by Lois Lowry

“Gathering Blue” by Lois Lowry is a marvelous story from the author of “The Giver.” As in her other novels, Lowry has created a masterpiece of writing that inspires thought about the future of man.

The novel tell the story of Kira, a girl born with a crippled leg. Unfortunately she lives in a post apocalyptic type world where technology has been lost and the people most valued are those who can work hard. When her mother dies Kira is forced to experience the hatred of a community that abandons the weak to die. When the community‘s Council of Guardians, however, chooses to let her live, it is only so that she might fulfill their plans and purpose. But then Kira starts to discover truths that will change her life and perception of the world around her forever.

“Gathering Blue” teaches about the importance of each and every person as an individual, not merely for what they can do for us. I would recommend this thought inspiring story to anyone who wants a meaningful and enjoyable reading experience.
