The Messenger by Lois Lowry
Third in this series, and let me just say, the end pissed me off.
This one does tie the first and second books together, so that was something. The hero of this book is Matty, who was friends with Kira from the last book. He lives in a new village with Jonas from the first book, although he is known as Leader. In a way, their village is a bit of a utopian situation. Everyone, even though there is something wrong with most of them, is happy and lives in peace, but all of the sudden people are starting to change. Almost like they've sold their souls for something. They are becoming selfish, and want their village to stop allowing new people to move to their town. There is a town vote, and the village decides to close their doors. Matty is sent to let the other civilizations know and to bring back the Seer's daughter, Kira. Will he make it back with her in time?
