This is a long chapter book for much older children. It is about a boy who lives in a "perfect" world. Fountas & Pinnell label it as a Level Y book and I think that is fair and appropriate considering the subtle themes, complex plot, social problems with explicit details, fantasies, and analyzing b...

Booklikes is doing that thing again so I hope this goes through. This is more a review of this edition than of the story. I love the story. I didn't love the illustrations, and I wouldn't give this to someone if they're reading The Giver for the first time. I'm just not a fan of the audience pot...

They tried to make their world perfect and all their ducks in a row.. but it doesn't work. One person must remember. The Giver is a story about loss and understanding. I would use this on...
