My Letter From Lois Lowry

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your kind words about THE GIVER and GATHERING BLUE.

Perhaps you will be interested to know that there will be a third book published in April, called MESSENGER. It takes place about seven years later and it links THE GIVER and GATHERING BLUE by using characters from both.

I hope you will have a chance to read it and that you will enjoy it, too.

Lois Lowry
