The Giver
About The Giver:
Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is
no war or fear of pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the
community. When Jonas turns 12 he is singled out to receive special training from The
Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it
is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back. Winner of the 1996
Newbery Medal.
