Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry is the second book in a quartet that includes The Giver and deals with similar themes (a society that discards the weak). It contains Common Core connections and resources to use in your classroom.
Whether you're looking to share classic characters with young students or to explore literature in more depth with older readers, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has something for everyone. From Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, you'll find great resources for students of varying ages.
