    poor quality

    I got this book to replace one I lost from the library. Book came with a lot of it text highlighted with different colors, written notes etc. It also had a massive amount of post-it notes from a previous user. I understand that I was not buying a brand new book, but I did not expect it to come looking like this. I have not been to the library yet, but I am pretty sure they will not except it. Very disappointed. The description of the product was incorrect.

  • The second in a great series!

    This is the second in a loosely-tied series by Lois Lowry. Although Jonas or his society are not the focus of this novel, Kira's society has many eerie similarities to that of The Giver. Kira and her mother are both gifted weavers. When tragedy strikes Kira's family, she is forced to prove herself worthy of survival. (Kira's disability makes her "undesirable" to the other citizens.) She soon becomes a valuable member of the community by recording and repairing their woven history. In the book, Kira's new life of privilege is astonishing to her, as is her new lack of independence. The book has great themes that lead to great discussion. Don't miss the book Messenger, which ties Kira's and Jonas's societies together!
