12-tear-old Jonas lives in a dystopian society in which "Sameness" is the norm and ideal while individuality is quashed. He is selected to serve as a Receiver of Memory, awarded with the job of memorizing all events and feelings prior to the imposition of uniformity. He is apprenticed to The Giver, and his new understanding shakes his acceptance in the order of things. The Giver, by Lois Lowry, won the Newbery Medal in 1994 and is one of the most beloved (and frequently challenged) books of its generation. A Fine first edition in a Fine dust jacket.
