Based on the novel written by Lois Lowry. This fascinating science-fiction novel is about a boy named Jonas who lives in a nameless community sometime in the future with no war, poverty, hate, fear, pollution, or disease-a utopian life. It is a world with no choices at all. Each aspect of life has a prescribed rule. The Giver is a book that quietly and delicately reveals how important life is and suggests that, possibly, the way we wish life to be might not be the best way after all.
