All rising 8th graders are required to obtain a copy of The Giver by Lois Lowry, read the novel, and complete the accompanying summer reading assignment before the start of the school year. Students received a printed copy of the assignment from their English teacher at the end of the school year. A digital version is also available at the following link for your convenience.
The AJHS office has copies of The Giver available to sell for $7. Gently used copies are also available through Black’s Old and New Mall, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Thrift Books, and other retailers. If obtaining a book is financially difficult, please contact the school.
Students may also use this digital version of The Giver.
Check out this trailer for The Giver. Beware that the book is quite different from the movie starring Brenton Thwaites and Taylor Swift.
