The Giver
by Lois Lowry
This classic novel follows the life of a boy named Jonas in a seemingly perfect world. Every family has a mom, dad, and two children, one boy and one girl. Everyone has a job, and no one goes hungry. The elderly and the newborns are taken good care off, and it's a peaceful world. Jonas is just an average kid, until at his apprenticeship, he is given the job of a Receiver. Suddenly he is launched into a world of amazement. He discovers colors, and feelings he never knew. He discovers memories. Along the way he discovers horrible things, and begins to wonder, how perfect is a perfect world?
Five stars for this one, if I gave stars that is.
