They called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn't exist. That she had become a Vessel at age thirteen. That she had carried a Product at age fourteen. That it had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son. But what became of him she never knew. What was his name? Was he even alive? She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. Now Claire will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means making an unimaginable sacrifice
Mrs. Lassley's Review
The first time I read The Giver I was in college and I had to read it for my Children's Lit class. I knew it was a special book then. With the addition of Gathering Blue and The Messenger, you got to see life in other areas. Now with Son, you go back to Claire and her journey. You will meet new characters and reconnect with old ones.
This book is one that will make you think. After I finished I just sat and basked in the afterglow of a truly wonderful book. I really think 8th graders need to add this to the must list since they are reading The Giver and The Messenger. So amazing!!
