It's a perfect world, where everything looks right. But ugly truths lie beneath…
Imagine a world without poverty, war or pain. A world where everything is comfortable and familiar - a world where everything is the same. No colour, no music. In such a world, Jonas is selected to be the next Receiver of Memory and is apprenticed to the Giver, an old man who stores memories from the Community’s past. As Jonas learns about violence and sadness, as well as beauty and joy, he discover the sinister truth behind his safe existence.
Simply and beautifully written, The Giver is a thought-provoking look at utopian society. It was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1994.

Reading this will make you appreciate who you are.
I agree!
The Giver was a great book. It was odd at times but still very, very, very good!! :) :) :)
This book can be odd at times!
This book makes you think about the world and society we live in. Would you want to live in this world, or ours?
This book has interesting characters and and helps us imagine what growing up would be like in a world much different than our own.
