Description

"Is it magic? I guess!"


Stay with us here--it's back to school season, so we're revisiting a true children's and young adult classic: Lois Lowry's The Giver (1993). This book may have been required reading in middle school, but it's more interesting than you might remember. In this episode, we discuss how Jonas' story echoes through the 2000s and 2010s dystopian books we usually cover on the show, its legacy of changing lives, and some of the more puzzling plot points.
