The Giver

The Giver

By: Lois Lowry

Reviewed by: Tahrima, age 16

Rating: It was all right.

The Giver is about a young boy named Jonas. He resides in a futuristic society in which each citizen is assigned to a job, a spouse, and children. The children are born to mothers who will never get to see them. Trying not to give anymore away, I will only say that Jonas is assigned an important job and is challenged with the release of an innocent child. Jonas is left with the option of leaving his home, job, and family to save the child, or facing the harsh reality of his community and job, and enduring the release of the child.

I would recommend this to:

What library do you go to?: Woodward Park
