Publisher Description
The thrilling and long-awaited conclusion to the Newbery Medal–winning Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry.
They called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn’t exist.
That she had become a Vessel at age thirteen. That she had carried a Product at age fourteen. That it had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son. But what became of him she never knew. What was his name? Was he even alive? She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible.
Now Claire will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means making an unimaginable sacrifice.
Son thrusts readers once again into the chilling world of the Newbery Medal-winning The Giver, as well as the companion books Gathering Blue and Messenger. In this thrilling series finale, the startling and long-awaited conclusion to Lois Lowry’s epic tale culminates in a final clash between good and evil in which a new hero emerges.
Customer Reviews
Uneventful climax to an end
I loved that each character “got a happy ending” there was tragedy, sadness, coming of age. And a great end to the sorry for Jonas and Gabe. But the weird “veer” in the story to talk about Claire and her life after she escaped was a bit dull. I found myself skimming those pages and putting the book down a few times. I wish we could’ve seen more of Gabe and Claire actually reuniting. This was a great series with a roller coaster of emotions. I wish this book gave more details of Gabe and Claire together versus 500 pages of Claire in this strange island.
Not as good as the others
Was very disappointed. The plot was a stretch and quite corny.
