Son

Book Six: Son

By Lois Lowry

Review by Ben Cornia

            Claire at the age of twelve was selected to serve as a birthmother, which was a disappointment to her. She had her first child when she was just 14 years old. Something went horribly wrong during her birth. She asked the doctors how her baby was doing and as a result, accidentally found out which baby was hers.

            Claire is given a new job at the fish hatchery. She visits her baby often. She soon develops a deep love for the baby. She hasn’t been taking the pills that prevent people from feeling emotions. She now knows that she could never let that baby be taken from her.

            Claire goes on a huge journey to find her son. She never wants for him to be gone. This book is a great one and ties The Giver series together very well. I would recommend this book along with the rest of the series to everyone.
