Funny enough I just taught The Giver to my 8th grade English. We finished like 2 weeks ago which is why i decided to finish reading the series. I had never gotten around to it. Hard pass. Cannot recommend it to students. The original stands alone so well for so many reasons especially the ambiguity of the ending.

My 8th grade english teacher never even told us there were more. She praised the ambiguous ending. I wish I remembered more but I moved like 2 weeks after finishing the book so I had bigger fish to fry.

I actually enjoyed the second book, gathering blue, more than Jonah's story.
