The Giver is a modern classic and one of the most influential books of our time.

Now in graphic novel format, Lois Lowry’s Newbery Medal–winning classic story of a young boy discovering the dark secrets behind his seemingly ideal world is accompanied by renowned artist P. Craig Russell’s beautifully haunting illustrations.

Placed on countless reading lists, translated into more than forty languages, and made into a feature film, The Giver is the first book in the Giver Quartet, which also includes Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.

In this new graphic novel edition, readers experience the haunting story of twelve-year-old Jonas and his seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment through the brilliant art of P. Craig Russell that truly brings The Giver to life.

Staff Pick by Carlos:

"In a seemingly idyllic utopia without famine, war, or violence, and everything is decided for you, Jonas is selected to learn under the eponymous Giver, an honor that serves to isolate him from his community. Tasked with an enormous responsibility, Jonas is finally able to see the flaws in his world, and he worries that this knowledge won't be enough to stop the horrors occurring underneath his home's shiny, grey facade. A classic that has been simultaneously challenged and venerated, Lowry pulls no punches in this timeless sci-fi classic that every reader should devour."
