Description

Lois Lowry won the very first of her two Newbery Medals in 1990 for Number the Stars. She brought visitors back to the mystical but possible future world of The Provider to inform the tale of Kira, orphaned, actually problematic six decades later, and left by having an unclear future. This next book in the Provider Quartet hasbeen strikingly renovated in both hardcover and paperback. As she did in afterwards The Messenger and The Provider, in Gathering Blue Lois Lowry challenges visitors to assume what the world could become, how individuals could develop, and what could be viewed useful.
