Title: A book my students couldn't put down!!
Review: Choosing a book for a grade 7 novel study that will keep the students interested is harder than it sounds. The Giver, however, was so popular with the students it was hard to get some of them to put the book away when reading time was over. One mother even "complained" that her son wouldn't come to the dinner table because he wanted to finish the book! Children from the ages of 11-15 have an easy time relating to this book and get drawn in to the amazing situations in it. At 13 years of age, Jonas is being given his "assignment", the career he will have for the rest of his life. Students love to talk about how they would feel if faced with the same concept, and if forced to conform to the same strict rules of society.I would highly recommend this book for any youth. Many of my students have been reluctant readers, but now I can't get them to stop!!!
