Wish List Wednesday

Son (Giver, 4)  by Lois Lowry, October 2, 2012. Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Told in three separate story lines, Lois Lowry’s Son combines elements from the first three novels in her Giver Quartet — The Giver (1994 Newbery Medal winner), Gathering Blue, and Messenger — into a breathtaking, thought-provoking narrative that wrestles with ideas of human freedom. Thrust again into the dark, claustrophobic world of The Giver, readers will meet an intriguing new heroine, fourteen-year-old Claire. Jonas from The Giver is here too, and Kira, the heroine of Gathering Blue. In a final clash between good and evil, a new hero emerges.

Why: Oh, my goodness! I cannot believe that there is going to be a fourth book in the GIver series. Y'all have absolutely no idea how excited I am over this. The Giver has been one of my favorite series and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen in Son.
