Now, it’s time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back. In a world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness and no unemployment, and where every family is happy, 12-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the community's Receiver of Memories. Under the tutelage of the Elders and an old man known as the Giver, he discovers the disturbing truth about his utopian world and struggles against the weight of its hypocrisy. With echoes of Brave New World , in this 1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable society. Gradually Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and pain-free society can be, and boldly decides he cannot pay the price.

JS* To quote from the KLIATT, September 2000, review of the hardcover edition: Lowry has created a haunting alternative society in Gathering Blue just as she has done in The Giverthat is not to say that it is the same society in both books. The Giver is ideal for 4th-6th grade students and has become a classic in children's literature; Gathering Blue is more complex, less obvious, and a better YA choice. One of the many good features of this story involves the hints about the destroyed past preserved in the rituals no one understands fully.
