A boy from a perfect world learns that the world is not so perfect. Will the Giver bring him joy, or is there something else in store? Will his journey lead to salvation, or to his demise? Sorry, this book won't answer those questions for you: you'll have to read Lois Lowry's 1993 novel for yourself.

But "The Giver" shined as the maiden production in Westmont's new Performing Arts Center, and this book is the perfect way to remember the play and add some "color" to an otherwise drab day!
