That she had become a Vessel at age thirteen. That she had carried a Product at age fourteen. That it had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son. But what became of him she never knew. What was his name? Was he even alive? She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. Now Claire will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means making an unimaginable sacrifice. Son thrusts readers once again into the chilling world of the Newbery Medal winning book, The Giver, as well as Gathering Blue and Messenger where a new hero emerges. In this thrilling series finale, the startling and long-awaited conclusion to Lois Lowry’s epic tale culminates in a final clash between good and evil.
This one is a really good wrap up to the series, and ties everything together for the reader. I found myself saying "Ohhhh, now I get it" more than once while reading. Ms. Lowry does a great job of wrapping her series up, and giving closure to some of the characters that we are very invested in. A must read if you have read the others in the series.
