ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In "Messenger" by Lois Lowry, young Matty, a member of the seemingly utopian Village, discovers he possesses a mysterious healing power. This community, which values honesty, faces a growing crisis as its principles are challenged by the introduction of trade and increasing selfishness. As Village debates closing its borders to outsiders, Matty undertakes a perilous journey through the perilous Forest to deliver vital messages and confront the forces threatening his home. The story explores themes of community, sacrifice, and the corrupting influence of greed as Matty grapples with his emerging abilities and the looming division within Village.
