The story follows Jonas, a 12-year-old boy who is given the assignment of holding the collective memory of what life was like before Sameness, so that he can guide the communitys leaders with his wisdom. He is trained by the previous holder of that assignmenta mysterious man Jonas comes to call the Giver.
