hartstrings 's review for:

Son by Lois Lowry
4.0

Excellent! If you have read the Giver, this companion book is very satisfying. I loved seeing how Jonah and Gabriel fit into the story. Claire's story-is beautifully tragic-but don't worry even if it seems a bit rushed (and a little unbelievable that the bad guy is so easily disposed), the ending is happy.

Summary: Unlike the other birthmothers in her utopian community, teenager Claire forms an attachment to her baby, feeling a great loss when he is taken to the Nurturing Center to be adopted by a family unit.
