The Giver is a novel written by Lois Lowry. The main character, Jonas, lives in a seemingly utopian society. This community is rigorous, has many rules, and is all about order. Many of the privileges given to the children are decided at different ages. When turning 12, the "Elders’ assign the kids their jobs. Jonas is assigned a rare job, the Receiver of Memory.
I rate this book 5 out of 5. It is a unique book, an idea that is not seen very often. The book follows the protagonists, defining everything Jonas does. The book is good for every age however, it is a great book for kids in middle school.
