Book of the Week: Son

I finished Lois Lowry's Giver quartet this week, with the fourth novel, Son. I really loved the way that the book tied the stories of the main characters from the first three books together in Son. The two main characters are Claire, the birth mother of Gabriel (the baby from the The Giver), and Gabriel. Claire's story begins in the community in which The Giver takes place, and ends in the community in which Messenger takes place, and we also see Gabriel's interactions and relationships with Jonas and Matty. I think the author connected the stories and wrapped up the series really well. Loved it!
