Are you bored with nothing to do? Pick up a book and read! A book I highly recommend is The Giver by Lois Lowry. It is an awesome book that gets you thinking. It opens your eyes to new possibilities. The Giver gives your mind something to think about. It really makes you appreciate the things in life you don’t really think much about like your childhood, memories, freedom, and family.
This amazing fantasy novel is about a boy, Jonas, who lives in a community where there are no colors or feelings. There is only one person that has these things which is the Giver. He is the most respected person in the community. When the ceremony of twelve comes around Jonas gets the job of receiver who receives memories from the Giver. Then once Jonas realizes what is happening, he learns that the people are being deprived from all these things, and so he goes on a journey so he can find more. This book would be enjoyed by adolescence that have an open mind and enjoy a good read. The Giver is about adventure and beyond what you know. It is awesome book with a wonderful message.

The Giver is one of my all time favorite stories! (I think most of you know that though:) A world without the simple pleasures of life...can you imagine? I know the ending didn't sit well with a lot of you last year, but consider how Lois Lowry left it all up to the reader. What do you think happened to Jonas? How did you picture it? She has a great respect for her readers, and I have a great respect for her as a writer! I am glad one seventh grader enjoyed this novel:) Some of you will try it again...some day!

The Giver is a great book if you think outside the box. I keep hoping for a sequel. Not only do I wonder what happened to Jonas, I wonder what happened to the other people in the community. I hope you give it another try soon! Mrs. Mehrkens
