Lowry, Lois - The Giver : 192 pages, ©1993

 

Jonas is chosen to become the Receiver of Memories for his seemingly perfect community, but soon begins to question the hypocrisy around him.  A classic, thought-provoking look at the dark side of Utopia. 

 

Red Flags: 

 

One of the pivotal moments in the book for Jonas deals with euthanasia and infanticide.  The ending is open, but may be interpreted as suicide by some readers. 

 

Sequels: 

 

Gathering Blue (companion novel)
