Strange changes are taking place in Village. Once a utopian community that prided itself on its welcome to new strangers, Village will soon be closed to all outsiders. As one of the few people able to travel through the dangerous Forest, Matty must deliver the message of Village's closing and try to convince Seer's daughter to return with him before it's too late.

  • I don't know if it is because I've read it at the right age, or if it's actually better, but I still think that The Giver is the best book in this trilogy.
    Still, Messenger was a beautiful book, and this is one trilogy that every kid should read.

  • I loved reading the three books of this series (The Giver, Gathering Blu, Messenger). Lois Lowry has a deep imagination and a clear and enchanting writing. Otherwise,in the Messenger there are too many questions unanswered, it doesn't feel complete to me. I would love a fourth book...
