At the age of twelve, Jonas, a young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world, is singled out to receive special training from The Giver, who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life. In the process, Jonas is forced to question everything in his ideal world: a world without conflict, poverty, unemployment, divorce, injustice, or inequality. The Newbery-Award winning best-selling book has become the gold standard for the young adult genre. Told with deceptive simplicity, it’s a provocative story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible.
