"The Giver, " the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to "The Giver, "including "Gathering Blue, Messenger, " and "Son."

"Was amazing, helps you understand that you don't have to hide from pain, discomfort, and the reality. Sometimes it is good to be sad, understand that the world is broken. Definitely recommend."

"Had to re-read, because I never made it to the end in highschool. It was an easy read. I wasn't super satisfied with the ending, but there are three more books that go along with it and the second one definitely helped clear up the ending to the first. "
