Is Jonas in the sequels of the giver?

From 14mlhecker.

There is no sequel to The Giver. However, Lois Lowry did publish a second book that could be considered complimentary titled Gathering Blue.

Gathering Blue and The Giver may or may not occur in different literary universes, but both do deal with the literary theme of Utopic/Dystopic societies.

During the books The Giver and Gathering Blue it is unknown if the two books are in the same world, but it is hinted to it when Matt mentions a light eyed boy when he comes back with the blue fabric. It is even more hinted at, though, in The Messenger by Lois Lowry when "The Leader" mentions were he received all his books, and mentions his past, and a sister he had. Then it is confirmed for the reader when it mentions the red sled that "The Leader" came in.

So even though they are not necessarily sequels, the three books do correspond to each other, and are within the same literary universe.
