Love this book. The ending leaves you wondering lol
Have you read Gathering Blue?
It's the companion novel by the same author. Its just as good/maybe better. I read it in 8th grade after we were assigned The Giver

The Giver has been in my To Read pile for a couple of months now, ever since I joined the YA Dystopia Challenge, which I failed to complete because I couldn't get a hold of any of the books that I wanted to read. I finally got a hold of The Giver and plan on reading it soon.
