The Giver by Lois Lowry was published in 1993. Why haven’t I already found this awesome author? If you read Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Among the Brave series, you’ll enjoy this.
This is also a futuristic account of a community where everything (and I do mean everything!) is regulated. At age 12, children are given their life assignments. Jonas's assignment is The Receiver. There hasn't been one in ten years and he's frightened!
Students love this book. I had to be put on the waiting list at my school. I can’t wait to read the next book The Messenger.
