About This Book

Kira has a damaged leg and lives in a brutal, primitive village where the weak are left to die. But she has a rare gift — she can thread and weave extraordinary works of art — and the Council of Guardians decides they need her. A companion to The Giver, Gathering Blue asks who controls beauty, who controls history, and what a person owes to the truth.
