What is The giver about?

Jonas lives in a community where everything is carefully controlled: families, feelings, jobs and even the weather. At twelve, he is chosen to become the new Receiver of Memory, learning from the mysterious Giver about the world that existed before sameness. As Jonas experiences colour, love, pain and loss, he begins to question the rules that keep his community peaceful. When he discovers the truth behind its darkest practices, Jonas must decide whether to obey or risk everything to change it.
