The Giver by Lois Lowry


Jonas is a twelve year old who lives in a controlled society. There seems to be no conflict, no personal decisions to make ,such as, what to eat, or wear.
At the annual ceremony when "The Twelves" receive their assignment for their life's work, Jonas is given a special job. He soon learns how order is maintained in this perfect society.
I like this story because it is so complex yet told in such simplicity.
