It is an amazing, in fact my favorite book. If I remember right I was in either 6-7 grade when we read the giver along with that we watched the movie when we finished the book/movie, we went on a “field trip” in which we where taken to an auditorium where we watched the giver but acted out and still was as good as the book. I am now a sophomore in highschool and it still remains my favorite book and I would recommend definitely.
