What I've done is sit both of my kids down, sometimes before they do their homework, sometimes before bed, sometimes while they are eating, and I read to them. They were totally sucked into this trilogy, somewhat against their will!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-26889739462024808222009-04-14T10:27:00.000-04:002009-04-14T10:27:00.000-04:00I have The Giver sitting on my bookshelf.

I guess if there was one productive thing that happened on this vacation, it was the fixing of the @#$? blog!<BR/><BR/>Carrie - You can tell your daughter that most of the important characters from The Giver and Gathering Blue all appear in Messenger. In each book, the villages are different, but all post-apocolyptic, and in various stages of re-building.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-22519012472053676462009-04-11T01:38:00.000-04:002009-04-11T01:38:00.000-04:00My daughter absolutely loved The Giver, and then s...My daughter absolutely loved The Giver, and then started Gathering Blue and said she didn't like it because it didn't seem to be related to The Giver.
