Son
Son by Lois Lowry
Teen Zone New Fiction – Main Level – LOWRY
In this sequel to The Giver, Lois Lowry pulls together characters from the previous three books in ‘The Giver Quartet’ in a satisfying conclusion. Following Claire, a teenage girl chosen to be a ‘birthmother’, Son tells the tale of what happens when this young girl is unable to come to terms with being separated from her baby. Risking everything to be reunited with her son, Claire finds herself in new, strange places that are nothing like the community in which she was raised.
Readers young and old who loved any or all books in ‘The Giver Quartet’ will enjoy this page-turner that brings them back to the dystopia first created in The Giver. In this long-awaited conclusion, Lowry takes readers on an emotional and nostalgic journey that brings many of the quartet’s loose ends together at last.
