The Giver 

                          Summarized by: Andzelika Cetera

The Giver is about a 12 year old boy named Jonas, chosen to be the new receiver of memories when he turned a 12.  Starting his new job in training, with the giver, he learns how to see color, love, real pain that he can't explain, and the lie about the release ceremony's.  At his training, The Giver,  puts his hands on his bare back, and transports a memory to Jonas.  It feels real, like you're there, first few days of his training he had enjoyable memories, then later on he had painful ones. Such as a terrible sunburn, or sledding down an icy and rocky, hill.  During a day of his training, requested to watch the release ceremony, His father-a nurturer, was first to release the twins he had just received.  One twin, weighing 6 pounds, they cleaned and kept for care, and sadly the other twin, little less than 6 pounds, got put down. Now since Jonas knew this, he got scared because the next day, Gabe, his fathers nurturing child he has been taking care of, is assigned to be released.  Jonas couldn't let that happen so he decided to take the left over food (extremely strict rule broken) took his fathers bike and left with Gabe to find a better place.  After about 4 weeks of searching, Jonas discovered wildlife, his legs were sore from riding the bike,  they rarely found any food, and they finally found a village, a better place to live.  
(I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars because i think the author should make the characters more realistic because the 9 year old sister was using some words I didn't even know)
