(2) YA Readers of Gathering Blue first met Matt as an exuberant child who found Kira's father (Seer), thought to be dead but instead living in Village, a utopian community of "broken" people. Now, years later, Matty is acting as a messenger for Leader, the blue-eyed Jonas from The Giver. Lowry's serene storytelling nurtures a compelling plot that allows her themes to flourish.
