Details
From Lois Lowry comes a powerful dystopian classic about memory, choice, and the hidden cost of a world without pain.
Jonas lives in a carefully controlled community where everything is orderly, peaceful, and predictable. There is no hunger, no war, no fear, and no real suffering. Every person has a role, every family is assigned, and every choice is made for the good of the community.
When Jonas turns twelve, he is given a rare and important assignment: Receiver of Memory.
Training with the mysterious Giver, Jonas begins to experience memories of the world as it once was—colour, music, love, pain, loss, and freedom. For the first time, he starts to understand what his community has sacrificed in the name of safety and sameness.
As the truth becomes harder to ignore, Jonas must decide whether to accept the life chosen for him or risk everything to protect what it really means to be human.
Thought-provoking, emotional, and quietly powerful, The Giver explores freedom, memory, individuality, and the importance of choice.
