Omigosh, I\u2019m having so much fun going through this book with you guys! \u00a0The actual discussion will start on Monday.<\/p>\n

Some of you have said that you think that the movie \u2014 based on a trailer \u2014 won\u2019t be similar enough to the book to be compelling.<\/p>\n

Well, guess what? \u00a0Lois Lowry herself has spoken out about the movie, and she loves it!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all there. The boy. The old man. The baby. The sled. If you loved the book take my word for it \u2014 you\u2019ll love the movie as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Of course, her novel won the 1994 Newbery Medal and has been printed in over 11 million copies worldwide \u2014 in 21 languages! \u00a0So, I\u2019m sure this will provide a ton of relief for you \u201cThe Giver\u201d fans!<\/p>\n
