In December, the Ceremony assigns each twelve-year-old their future role, chosen by the Elders. Jonas sees Fiona assigned as the Caretaker of the Old, and his lively friend Asher becomes the Assistant Director of Recreation. Yet Jonas’s selection is different. His path introduces him to a mysterious figure known only as the Giver, through whom he uncovers the darker truths hiding beneath his society’s polished surface. In a deceptively simple narrative, this story challenges readers to rethink the values they’ve long accepted and consider what they truly believe.
"The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared."
