Description
Gr 6 Up-Jonas lives in a colorless world where everyone is content and
conformity is the key to serenity. At the age of 12, in a ceremony that
determines Life Assignments for each citizen, he's chosen to be the
community's 'Receiver of Memories.' He begins training with the Giver,
an old man who is the sole guardian of the community's dark and
concealed history. Jonas learns not only of sunshine, color, and love
but also of pain, war, and death. Confronted with this reality, he faces
difficult choices and discovers that the wisdom he now holds could
determine the fate of his entire civilization. This striking retelling
of the modern classic blends words and images to create a brilliant new
representation of Lowry's dystopian conflict between the ideals of free
will and security. The artwork, rendered in blue pencil and grayscale,
perfectly depicts Jonas's stark, dysfunctional society, and the measured
introduction and brief glimpses of color keep readers hopeful for a
brighter future. The characters are distinct, and the action flows well,
evoking the feeling of the original work. Dialogue is pulled directly
from the source material and heightens the story line and Jonas's
emotions. VERDICT This stunning work will introduce The Giver to a
brand-new audience and will also delight longtime fans.-Kelley Gile,

artistically brilliant, and as charged as its enigmatic predecessor with
profound challenges to mind and heart.' –Kirkus, STARRED review 'This
striking retelling of the modern classic blends words and images to
create a brilliant new representation of Lowryâ€s dystopian
conflict....This stunning work will introduce The Giver to a brand-new
audience and will also delight longtime fans.' –School Library
Journal, STARRED review 'Russell masterfully preserves the flow of
story....The relief and sometimes shock of these colors allow the power
of the memories to reach readers in a way beyond mere sight, and thus
the wonder of Lowryâ€s story is made palpable in a startling new way.'Â
–Booklist 'An accessible version of the story for readers who have not
yet encountered it.' –Publishers Weekly 'This beautifully illustrated
graphic novel...gives new life to a true classic.' –School Library
