Alfie's book summary

Lois Lowry – The Messenger
Matty is the main character and is an orphan who lives with Seer, a blind man. Matty has the power to heal, but it drastically weakens him. Village is a place where everyone is accepted and there are no secrets, but recently, greed has is overpowering them. They have decided to close the village to newcomers (before newcomers were welcomed). Matty has to go out and warn the villages, but the forest has turned EVIL, trying to kill him with vines and twigs. The genre is realistic fantasy (yes, that’s a genre).
The book was short yet captivating.

This is the sequel to The Giver.
