Description

Jonas is feeling frightened, no, apprehensive about the upcoming ceremony when he and the other children in his age group will be assigned their life-long roles in their idyllic and uniform community. But Jonas isn't assigned, he's selected. He is chosen for a very special role in the community, because he has a gift: the capacity to see beyond.

Experience the award-winning novel in a new way with this graphic novel adaptation of Lois Lowry's The Giver. It beautifully captures the uniform and colorless community in which Jonas lives, as well as Jonas's journey toward seeing the world with new eyes. 192 pgs, hc. ~ Rachel
