Lois Lowry’s The Giver is the quintessential dystopian novel, accompanied by its remarkable companions, Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.

Jonas’s world is ideal. Everything is under control. There is no battle or concern with pain. A couple of no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. When Jonas becomes 12 he’s singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the thoughts of the true pain and enjoyment of life. Today, it is time for Jonas to get the truth. There is absolutely no turning back.
