El Dador/The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, reviewed by Amanda Davies

Summary:  In this Spanish translation of the dystponian classic, the main character, Jonah, discovers that not everything in his community is what it seems.

Straight Talk for Librarians:  This translation would be great for Spanish or MLL classroom libraries, as well as in school libraries. Students who speak Spanish as their first language as well as more sophisticated Spanish language learners could both benefit from this book being on the shelves. Because the English version is so easily accessible, it would also work in earlier Spanish language classes where students compare the two versions side by side.
