The book I'm currently reading is The Giver by Lois Lowry. This book is about Jonas, a 12-year old boy who is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory. He meets the Giver which is the old Receiver of Memory. The Giver gives Jonas memories that only he and Jonas may know about. The rest of their community can't know the memories that they The Receiver of Memory has.
During this book Jonas finds out the reason why those memories are to not be known by their community. His assignment is very different from others, other children got to be Engineers, or be Nurturers. Jonas at first was proud of himself of being the new Receiver of Memory, but he also felt scared of what would happen to him. The Giver notices this and reveals the truth about being the Receiver of Memory and what those memories hold/show.
