Book Review
Review:
Gathering Blue, By Lois
Lowry
This story is mainly about
a girl named Kira. Kira has a magic way with thread. Her hands would weave for
her-almost without her thinking about it. Kira’s mother and father are both
dead. She is forced to go to a council of guardians which is like a town
council. It is up to them what happens to her. They decide she can live. They
put her in a very nice place and they want her to weave some kind of blanket
like her mother used to do. The blanket tells what will happen in the future in
some magic kind of way. Kira finally figures out what is happening with the aid
of a boy and a child she meets. Her whole life changes in her new home. Read the
book to find out why.

Megan wrote this report
especially for "The Reading Room." I also have read this wonderful
book and can recommend it to any strong grade 5 reader. It is also a good book
to read aloud to a class or to a fourth grader-with discussions. Mrs. L.
