This book club is open to learners of all abilities! What if you could live in a world free of pain? A perfect, peaceful world where all danger has been eradicated? This is the world in which Jonas, our 12 year old protagonist, has grown up. But as Jonas soon finds out, a perfect world does not exist. Jonas will discover, as will our readers, that joy is nothing without strife, pleasure nothing without pain, and safety nothing without freedom. Students will read "The Giver" by Lois Lowry....

This novel contains disturbing scenes such as graphic war violence, euthanasia, infanticide, and mild sexual references. I highly suggest that parents read an online review of the book on Common Sense Media and/or pre-read the book. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/the-giver-book-1?utm_expid=.RCp3TD4oT6qWuBfx5635Eg.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.commonsensemedia.org%2Fsearch%2Fthe%2520giver
