What the critics say

“Lowry returns to the metaphorical future world of her Newbery-winning The Giver to explore the notion of foul reality disguised as fair. . . . Readers will find plenty of material for thought and discussion here. . . . A top writer, in top form.”–Kirkus Reviews, Starred

“Lowry has once again created a fully realized world full of drama, suspense, and even humor. Readers won’t forget these memorable characters or their struggles in an inhospitable world.”–School Library Journal, Starred

This book was absolutely wonderful, and such a great follow up to The Giver. This story could very easily stand on its own, but the fact that it leads up to telling us more about the original book made it even better (and even harder to put down!). I couldn’t stop listening.
The one and only (very small and trivial) complaint that I have, is the way that the narrator pronounced a few words incorrectly, especially “corridor” Lol. The narrator said it like “currider” and it drove me a little nuts, but I just tried to ignore it haha.

Captivating Story
