THE GIVER - LOIS LOWRY KARTONIERT (TB)

In Lois Lowry's Newbery Medal?winning classic  twelve-year-old Jonas lives in a seemingly ideal
world. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver does he begin to understand
the dark secrets behind his fragile community. Life in the community where Jonas lives is
idyllic. Designated birthmothers produce newchildren  who are assigned to appropriate family
units. Citizens are assigned their partners and their jobs. No one thinks to ask questions.
Everyone obeys. Everyone is the same. Except Jonas. Not until he is given his life assignment
as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark  complex secrets behind his
fragile community. Gradually Jonas learns that power lies in feelings. But when his own power
is put to the test?when he must try to save someone he loves?he may not be ready. Is it too
soon? Or too late? Told with deceptive simplicity  this is the provocative story of a boy who
experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible. In the telling it
questions every value we have taken for granted and reexamines our most deeply held beliefs.
The Giver has become one of the most influential novels of our time. Don't miss the powerful
companion novels in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet: Gathering Blue  Messenger  and Son .
