Lois Lowry's "The Giver"
Banned in some states for talk of death, hidden feelings, and silent desires. Held back from the minds of students because of its "controversial themes." Read it when I was 10. Still lives on today, through all its tribulations, as a book that understands love-- how we love, and why.

I read the book when I was 10 too! I agree with everything about this critique!
I remember loving this book! Great critique ❤️
So did it scare you as a 10 year old. How bad was it. Now I have to read it. Dharrsheena tends to rub off on you.
Death? Controversial themes? I'm itching to get my hands on this book! Excellent review!
Oh this story also changed me, I still think about it often. I feel the exact same way about this book. Have you read the companion books? They're very different, they have very similar nostalgic feelings for me.
