I need to know the author-name of this book. I read it in my middle school as a required reading and loved it.

It has a girl who's mother died and the council of the city decides to teach her how to dye clothes professionally. She is then assigned a housing with others like herself and she encounters a woodworker that she likes. She then has to repair a special robe for a ceremony that is held annually and features a song that last a whole day, I think. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's Gathering Blue. I forgot the name of the author, but I read that book after my class in middle school had to read The Giver, a book by the same lady. Lois Lowery, I think.



Thank you, picture-less Michelle (sorry if I got your name wrong!). My spelling on the name was horrible. It is a little odd, though, isn't it? Lowis? Whoa...

Hey, don't beat yourself up, Jade U. You're each half right on the name. It's actually Lois Lowry.
