The Giver


This book probably everyone has read in high school. It is such a classic, if you have not read it you really should. It is about a different world where the people are completely controlled by their government. But one boy is given the job to know the truth. It is such a good story a must read.
So even if you have read this book you may have missed the rest of the series

Gathering blue takes place in the same world, but in a more barbaric part. People are very poor uneducated, and completely wild. Such a contrast. In this series you would never know it is related to the giver until you get to book three.

The final book is the messenger. It ties both stories together in a world that tries to meet in the middle. It is such a good story. None are as good as the first, but if it left you with wanting more and wondering what happened. Book three helps that a little. I highly recommend it. It is also very appropriate for 12 and up. I own all three!
