Description

“The theme of balancing the values of freedom and security is beautifully presented.”—Horn Book The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. 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. Lowry has written three sequels to The Giver, including Gathering Blue, Messenger, and now Son, published in September 2012.
