Jonas lives in a society with no pain, no color, no choices, and no memory that things were ever different. When Jonas' destiny is revealed to him, everything he thought he knew about his past and future begin to change.
I recently discovered that this book is actually followed by three other books, in a sort of series. I was confused, because (spoiler alert, but not really, apparently) I remember having the impression that the main character dies in the end. And... I still get that impression upon re-reading it. Weird. But anyway, this is a pretty good introduction to dystopia and science fiction for kids, who probably don't realize that is what they are reading. But I think that adults, too, might enjoy revisiting this book.
