The book ‘The Giver” by Louis Lowry has been challenged many times throughout the country. Mainly in elementary and Middle school classrooms. According to the American Library Association “The Giver” was among one of the most challenged book of the 1990’s. Most of the reasons from the book being challenged were for violence, euthanasia, infanticide, sexual scenes and suicide.  The Giver has been challenged many times in school districts and public libraries. In 1999 the book was challenged in South Carolina. A parent from Perkins County complained to the school board because the references to death are inappropriate for students in elementary school. Other parents joined in on the complaint; the school board members decided to remove the book from in elementary classrooms and libraries but allowed the book to stay in high school classrooms and libraries. I believe “The Giver” should be banned from readers who are in middle school and below.
