Dear Parents,
In the next few weeks,
we will begin our novel study of The Giver by Lois Lowry in Language Arts.
This book can be purchased at local bookstores, on www.Scholastic.com, or at used bookstores. It is not a requirement that students purchase a copy
of this book; however, it is beneficial for them to have a personal copy to use
while completing assignments.
Summary of The Giver:
The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to The Giver, including Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son. (Amazon.com)
