A great book

website accessibility-children's literature

I have a Young Adult Lit course this semester, and one of the ladies in my reading group recommended a great book to me. I had never heard of it, but as she is a teacher, she has more experience with childrens' lit than I do as a LIS student. The book is "The Giver" by Lois Lowry , and it won the Newbery Award in 1994. The site for Ms. Lowry is www.loislowry.com and is a very user-friendly site.
What a interesting book! http://www.randomhouse.com/teachers/guides/give.html is a good site in explaining the book....has comments by the author, including audio...and suggestions for the classroom.
Another good one is http://www.carolhurst.com/titles/giver.html.
Check out this book- I really enjoyed it, and will use this in the future.
