The Giver

The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is 180 pages about a community excluded from all normal life. No color, feelings, pain, or fear inhabits this community. Jonas was just another one of these people, but when he was chosen to receive all of the memories of Elsewhere when he turned 12, his life changed forever. Much pain, fear, and feeling are in these memories, and Jonas learns all that his community is missing out on. Gabriel, a little baby, is living with Jonas' family unit, and when he is about to be released, Jonas runs away to explore Elsewhere and takes Gabe with him. Do they make it to Elsewhere, or die trying? Read this weird, exciting, interesting thriller to find out.
