Love
In The Giver, Jonas learns about love.
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Giver
Jonas lives in a world where there is nothing bad. No wars, troubles, or pians. No one needs to make any choises what so ever, and everyone has a job in the community.
When Jonas turns twelve, he is chosen to receive special training from the Giver, a highly honored man who holds all the secret memories of the past and what it truly means to live. It is time for Jonas to know the truth of what has disappeared from their world, but there is no turning back

Come on and read these books, The giver and gathering blue by Lois Lowry! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!
Not Sure
Not sure if you should read one of these books? Do what I do, lend it from your public library or your school library. Then read a page or two while using the five finger rule to see if you like the book and if it is at your reading level. If not, you can always return it!
P.S. The five finger rule is when you hold up a finger for every word you do not know or do not understand. If you have all five fingers up when you are done the page, this book may be too hard for you at the moment. If you have less than five fingers up, this book is at you reading level. If you did not put up any fingers, you might want to find a harder book that will challange you a little more.
