The Giver # 3 - Messenger by Lois Lowry

The Giver # 3 Messenger by Lois Lowry Jonas, an insightful twelve-year old, and his family reside in a unique society where there is no poverty, hate, fear, pollution, dissension, conflict, pain or love. To achieve this end, the society has gained control over every aspect of their lives. When Jonas turns twelve he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth and there is no turning back. In the Messenger, trouble is brewing in Village. Once a utopian community that prided itself on welcoming strangers, Village will soon be cut off to all outsiders. As one of the few able to traverse the forbidding Forest, Matty must deliver the message of Village’s closing and try to convince Seer’s daughter Kira to return with him before it’s too late. But Forest is now hostile to Matty as well. Now he must risk everything to fight his way through it, armed only with an emerging power he cannot yet explain or understand. Hardback.
