The Giver is on the 100 Most Challenged Book List.
Personal Reaction:
I can see why this book is challenged, but I really enjoyed it, along with most of Lowry’s works. Originally, I didn’t like that it leaves you “hanging” or wondering at the end, but what would our world be without a little mystery and things left up to our own imagination! This book does have some things in it that are questionable for age (maturity) appropriateness, but I believe each reader will only grasp what their minds are ready for.
Lowry, L. (1993). The giver. Boston: Houghton Mifflin.
