The Giver
I read an article in the January issue of Reason that highlighted some trends in Young Adult literature. The Giver by Lois Lowry was one of the books showcased. I just finished reading it today. I had started it a week or two ago but plowed through the last half of it at work today. The story really grabbed me. I’m a sucker for anything that bashes governmental entities. It was also refreshing to see a kid of 12 or 13 in the novel discover the evil of others making choices for him. I hope the kids who read this book grasp the concept.
