The Giver by Lois Lowry - presented by NBPL Foundation
March 11
The Giver by Lois Lowry, is about a boy who inhabits a seemingly ideal world: a world without conflict. It is a time when family values are paramount, teenage rebellion is unheard of, and good manners are a way of life. At the annual Ceremony each twelve-year-old receives a life assignment determined by the Elders. Jonas watches Fiona be named Caretaker of the Old and Asher labeled the Assistant Director of Recreation. But Jonas is sent to a man called The Giver and the boy senses the dark secrets that underlie the fragile perfection of his world.
