This is the third and final book in The Giver series. Its main character is Matty, or Matt as he was referred to in Gathering Blue. The Messenger is really the pinnacle of the series and it brings character from the previous two books and intertwines their lives so each individual’s story makes sense in relation to the others. Jonas returns as the leader of Village and Kira’s father, Seer, is now the father figure for Matty. Matty, just like Kira and Jonas before him, discovers that he had the ability to heal. In the end Matty brings peace and healing to Village but at great costs to himself. This book follows the theme of the series in the fact that it will make children appreciate the talents they have and realize that they need to not use them selfishly, but share them with others.
