She soon finds herself in another community more relatable to our society where she gains strength, knowledge and wisdom while continuing her search. When Claire discovers her son is no longer in the community, she decides to go after him. Without the pills she is able to experience what others in the community can't: emotions. Wondering why she is different, she realizes she has never been told to take the pills everyone else is taking. She, somehow, has ended up working in the Fish Hatchery, but begins to yearn for her child, a desire unknown to her companions. We are introduced to 14-year-old Claire, who had the assignment of Birthmother. With her new book, "Son," the fourth in "The Giver" series, Lowry has quenched this thirst. As we escaped into this world, we got to know Jonas and followed him throughout, but the book's ending left questions unanswered and us thirsting for more. When we first picked up Lois Lowry's young/adult futuristic utopian epic "The Giver" (1994 Newbery winner), we were immediately intrigued.
