	The Giver Lois Lowry (1993) , 180 pages Audience: Intermediate (4th-6th grade) Category: Fantasy Feelings Neighborhoods / Communities Special Powers
Request this book from the Library In the Giver people are born at the birthing center, assigned parents and a name and eventually assigned a job and a spouse. This is not the case for Jonas. When he turns 12 he is assigned the rare job of the receiver of memories. He get's happy things like love, color, and family. He also suffers though. He get's war, loneliness, and death. He decides to run away and find a community where things like music, and sledding on snowy hills. This book had a wonderful story but a terribly disapointing ending. I do not recommend this book to anyone who hates bad endings. Kid review written by Edie, Age 11
