Friday Favorites-The Giver

The Giver by Lois Lowry   1999, Bantam Books




One of my favorite books is this dystopia book by Lois Lowry.  In fact there are 4 books in this series and I love all of them.  I would add this to my list of books to read and then watch the movie.  It's a great discussion book for kids 6-8th grade.  The movie comes out mid-August, but read the book first.  They can never do justice in a movie to the images created by your imagination.  I especially like the idea of seeing what other people don't see, or hearing what others can't hear.  There are several parts that bring a new perspective to things we take for granted.
