Christopher writes the following about The Giver :

If we can identify the excellence of this book by the number of awards it has received, then it is superb. (Most notable of the awards is the Newbery Medal, a prestigious prize for contribution to children's literature.) U/The Giver/U is about the events in the life of a boy named Jonas. He is faced with many decisisions in a so-called "utopian society."Lois Lowry has created a materpeice that will be read by children (and teenagers and adults) for many years in the future.
