Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

            Gathering Blue is the second installment in The Giver series. It tells the story of a girl names Kira who has a talent to make dyes out of flowers. She has a crippled leg so she would have been killed had her father not taken her away early on in her life and brought her back when she was old enough to weave. Kira has a special ability, she can tell the future with her weavings. She and her best friend Matt believe that the town is corrupt and not doing things the way things should be done so all through the book they are trying to help the town move in a positive direction. Just like The Giver, Gathering Blue will help students appreciate what abilities that they have been given and also to accept their flaws.
