Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
This book is wonderful if read alone...but when you have already read "The Giver", well its even a sweeter experience. Naturally one should continue to the next book "Messenger" to be complete.
Then go on and read "Gossimer" by the same author.

Lowry has written better books than this. Sorry I spent the money on it.
