Book Review: A Must Read!
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the novel Messenger by Lois Lowry. The main character is a young boy named Matty who has an unexplainable power. He escaped from his homeland community through Forest to Village. He lives with a blind man who is quite old named Seer. Everyone in Village, once they show wisdom, is given their true name. Matty is hoping his will be Messenger because he runs errands through Forest who has not shown him any warnings. Once a year a Trade Mart takes place. Many of the people have traded away their "innerself." Now people who have traded want to close Village to newcomers. Now, Matty must convince Seer's Daughter, Kira who is crippled, to go through Forest. Forest has become hostile. This makes it harder for Kira and Matty to get back to Village before it is closed to newcomers. The story takes place in a utopian society in the future. This community usually takes pride in welcoming newcomers. What has changed?
The theme of this novel is always welcome new ideas, but trust your conscience. Adventure seekers should read this book because it has a page-turning ending. It also has great morals. This is a must read!
