Title: The Giver By: Kathy Bondurant and
Review: The Giver takes place in a society, that at first, seems perfect. It seems to be free from crime or societal problems. This however, leads to no freedom to make personal decisions or experience true freedom. This novels main character is Jonas and centers around his coming of age at twelve years old. At the magic age of twelve his society decides what his career and purpose in life is going to be. His discovery into his assigned job as "the giver" is one that is troubling and leads him to search outside of his community to find a better life. Follow Jonas as he learns of the true problems of his community and how maybe the grass is greener on the other side of the mountain. We recommend this book for children at least 13 years or older due to some of the life and death aspects of this story.
