In Jonas's world, all children are assigned the jobs they will do as adults. Jonas is singled out to become the next Receiver of Memory, to learn all the hidden secrets of the past--the pains and the pleasures that his community has abolished. But when Jonas learns what his society has lost to achieve perfection, he devises a plan to give the memories back to his community.Looking for more than activity sheets or a who-did-what series of questions?
