The Giver

This book is currently on Amazon’s Essential Books for Young Adults. The main character, Jonas, lives in a Utopian society where everyone is happy and taken care of. However, as Jonas approaches his birthday, changes start happening in his life. He begins to question the way his society handles issues. He begins to wonder what he can do about things with which he disagrees. How can a 12 year old make a difference? This book also has strong Biblical references and fantastic teaching moments. It is a very easy read but contains deep discussion topics.
