Throwback Thursday

This week's book is one of the original dystopians! We're talking about The Giver by Lois Lowry

When did it debut? 1993

What's the deal? Jonas lives in a futuristic world where everything is under control. There's no pain or war or fear. Sounds good, right? Or does it? Obviously there's more going on than meets the eye and as Jonas finds out more, he becomes disenchanted with his world.

Why should I read it now? A lot of books like Matched by Ally Condie were seemingly inspired by The Giver. If you enjoy reading contemporary dystopian but want something different, give The Giver a try.

Put The Giver by Lois Lowry on hold here.
