Há seis anos, Matty chegou ao pacato Vilarejo. Sob os cuidados de Vidente, um cego que tem uma visão especial, ele amadureceu e se adaptou à nova vida. Agora, espera receber seu nome verdadeiro, que determinará seu valor ali, como ocorre com todos os habitantes.

Contudo, algo nefasto está se infiltrando no Vilarejo, e os moradores, antes orgulhosos de receber forasteiros, passam a exigir que as fronteiras sejam fechadas para se protegerem.

Por ser um hábil mensageiro, Matty é encarregado de avisar os outros povoados sobre o bloqueio. Sua missão também tem outro grande objetivo: buscar Kira, a filha de Vidente, antes que seja tarde demais.

Ele é o único capaz de viajar pela Floresta, que já provocou algumas mortes. O problema é que ela também está se tornando um lugar perigoso para o garoto. Mas muitos dependem de Matty. Então, armado apenas de um poder recém-descoberto, ainda incompreensível e incontrolável, ele se arriscará a fazer o que talvez seja sua última viagem.

"Lois Lowry magistralmente apresenta outra história assombrosa e provocadora. A autora volta a temas passados e os alça a um nível ­superior." – Publishers Weekly

"A escrita habilidosa de Lois Lowry dá um suspense crescente à história e suas descrições são particularmente vívidas e impactantes. Os protagonistas dos livros anteriores ressurgem em O mensageiro, e o chocante desfecho provocará grandes discussões." – School Library Journal

"Lois Lowry vai muito além de uma simples mensagem, escrevendo de forma simples e bela, enraizada na alegoria política, em detalhes familiares calorosos e num mundo natural e selvagem, à beira do realismo." – Booklist

1994 Newbery Medal Winner

The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to The Giver, including Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.

Órfã e portadora de uma deficiência, Kira precisa enfrentar um futuro assustadoramente incerto. Vivendo em uma civilização que descarta os mais fracos, ela sofre hostilidade dos vizinhos, que a acusam de ser inútil para a comunidade.

Quando é chamada a julgamento pelo Conselho dos Guardiões, Kira se prepara para lutar pela vida. Mas, para sua surpresa, os autoritários chefes já têm outros planos e a encarregam de uma tarefa grandiosa: restaurar os bordados de uma túnica centenária que contam a história do mundo.

Escolhida por seu talento quase mágico para bordar, a jovem fica radiante com a honraria. Quando dá início ao minucioso serviço de investigação do passado, ela depara com uma série de mistérios nas profundezas do universo que achava conhecer tão bem. Confrontada com uma verdade chocante, Kira precisará tomar decisões que mudarão sua vida e toda a comunidade.

Em A escolhida, Lois Lowry traz ao leitor personagens e cenários distintos de O doador de memórias, mas que complementam a sensacional distopia e abrem um novo horizonte de reflexão para a tetralogia.

"Lois Lowry possui uma capacidade magistral de construir mundos reais e imaginários. A civilização futurista de A escolhida é uma de suas mais poderosas criações." – Booklist

As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, Annemarie Johansen’s family takes in Annemarie’s best friend, Ellen Rosen, and conceals her as part of the family.

Through the eyes of ten-year-old Annemarie, we watch as the Danish Resistance smuggles almost the entire Jewish population of Denmark, nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. The heroism of an entire nation reminds us that there was pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war.
