The Giver

by Lois Lowry, Margaret Mahy, Paul Cox   |  Ages 11+
$9.90
The Giver
The Giver

Perfect world shattered, one boy's brave journey.

"The Giver is a great read for fans of dystopian literature and young adult fiction. It presents a unique concept of a 'perfect' world but is thought-provoking as the reader learns about the darker aspects of this society. Lois Lowry creates a brave protagonist in Jonas, who embarks on a journey that ultimately shatters his perfect world but also shows the importance of individual thought and personal courage. This book is a reminder that perfection isn't always what it seems, and sometimes it takes great bravery to do what is right."
