AMAZING AUTHORWe read many books by Lois Lowry

The Giver

• Mrs. DuBose read to the class The Giver. It is about a

utopian city that has no emotion. Jonas flees from the

town which causes all feeling, color, and memories to

come back to the people. This story has taught me to

express emotions in any way.

Gathering Blue

After Mrs.DuBose read The Giver, I was inspired by her

work, so I read Gathering Blue. It is about a town where if

you have any defects or differences, you would be put in

the Fields of Punishment for the beasts to eat you.

Number The Stars

• The fifth graders had to read Number The Stars. It is

during WWII and Annemarie’s best friend Ellen Rosen is a

Jew. So when the Nazi soldiers begin relocating

Jews, Annemarie and her family must do something to

protect the Rosens.

Messenger

• Messenger was the last in the series of Gathering Blue

and The Giver. Messenger is about a boy named Matty

who discovers that he has the power of healing. He is

willing to pay the price for peace in all of the communities.

The End

• I would like you all to read any of Lois Lowry’s books.
