They called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn’t exist. 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.

The last thing Danny expects to come across during his hike in the forest is a very insecure bear!

An Insecure Bear?! How is that? Everyone knows bears are big, strong, and fearless!

But Compare Bear is a scaredy-bear who can’t seem to see his own strength. He just doesn’t know how wonderful he truly is! Compare Bear compares himself to every other animal in the forest and wants to be anything except his own true, excellent self!

In Compare Bear’s Double Dare, one of the first books from the EQ Explorers Series, Danny helps his big, unique, furry new friend take to heart the powerful EQ principle:
Be Yourself. Don’t Compare!.

It’s a lesson of emotional intelligence that is essential for every young reader!
