Changing Quote by Lois Lowry
““He’s changing, isn’t he?” Matty replied, startling himself, because he had not spelled it out in his mind before, had not said it aloud yet, yet here it was, and he was saying it to Jean. He felt an odd sense of relief. Jean began to cry softly. “Yes,” she said. “He has traded his deepest self.””
