Jonas is about to discover that his perfect world has flaws…
A classic, award-winning novel that gave rise to the modern dystopian genre, THE GIVER also inspired a major motion picture adaptation in 2014, starring Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift.
It is the future. There is no war, no hunger and no pain, and nobody in the community wants for anything – everything they could need is simply provided. At twelve years old, every member of the community has their profession carefully assigned to them by the Committee of Elders, and Jonas has never once questioned whether anything might be wrong with his world. But the moment he is chosen as the Receiver of Memory, he begins to realise that his community is far from as perfect as it appears. Only with the Giver’s help can Jonas recover what has been lost, and only through his own personal courage can he find the strength to do what’s right…
As the forerunner of the genre, The Giver remains an award-winning classic of bravery and adventure that continues to inspire dystopian writers to this day.
