Messenger is the masterful third novel in Lois Lowrys Giver Quartet, which includes The Giver, Gathering Blue, and Son.

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 didnt 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 Lowrys epic tale culminates in a final clash between good and evil in which a new hero emerges.
