Today, we're going to start our journey into The Giver, a fascinating book by Lois Lowry. Before we dive into the story, I want to give you some background on the author and her inspiration for writing this book. Lois Lowry has written many books, but The Giver stands out because it explores important questions about choices, freedom, and how we live in society.

What impact do you think she wanted it to have on readers like you?
