Gathering Blue was written by the same author as The Giver (as you can see up above). However, though it wasn't as fantastic as The Giver, its still a good book to read. Just plop yourself down next to a fireplace and get hacking away at that book. Hint: Lois Lowry is a great writer! You hear that Lois? I'm your fangirl.
Gathering Blue is about a crippled girl named Kira. She was born that way, but the lack of leg and athleticism is made up for with her wondrous skills as a weaver. Like the boy in The Giver, she is shrouded in secrets. Everything around her is not what it seems. She comes to a realization that the all-powerful Council of Guardians who saved her life, aren't as nice as she thought. Trapping little girls and boys in their room with a padlock and stern, heartless, cold voices forcing them to brutal, unending practices. The Council of Guardians are trying to control their talents and gifts for themselves.
The girl, Kira, also befriends a little boy who goes on a journey to bring back the color blue as a gift for Kira. In the end, she discovers that she might not be so alone in the world after all.
