Den utvalde är en andlöst krypande skildring av hur en diktatur maskeras till demokrati. Språkligt en njutning. Eftersom det slutar i en rejäl cliffhanger bör förstås de efterföljande tre delarna i kvartetten snarast få svenska språkdräkter."Gull Åkerblom, BTJ
Jonas lever i ett samhälle utan konflikter, fattigdom, arbetslöshet eller skilsmässor. En värld där allt fungerar och ingen är missnöjd. Men Jonas är spänd. Spänd inför den årliga ceremonin då samhällets alla tolvåringar ska säga adjö till sin barndom och tilldelas en livsuppgift. I år är det hans tur. Under ceremonin väljs Jonas ut att bli samhällets nya minnesbevarare. Han får gå i lära hos den gamla minnesbevararen, en man som han kallar Givaren. Ju mer tid Givaren och Jonas tillbringar tillsammans, desto mer övertygad blir Jonas om att något är fel, alldeles fasansfullt fel. Han börjar allt tydligare förstå vilka mörka hemligheter som döljs bakom den perfekta fasaden.
Suggestivt gastkramande berättelse om ett på ytan perfekt samhälle. Den utvalde är första delen i en serie om fyra titlar.
Lois Lowry är född 1937 i Honolulu, Hawaii och uppvuxen i New York. Hon har skrivit mer än trettio böcker för barn och unga och har i sitt hemland USA belönats med många litterära priser.

Twins Tessa and Theo live in a world ruled by the tyrannical Koziris, where there are no dangers or rebels... or so they've been told. In this world, citizens live long lives, and while many hate Koziris, they are comfortable and safe. So, when Tessa's brother disappears, nobody wants to discuss it. But then Miriam, their 135-year-old neighbor bound for the retirement community, slips Tessa a key—not only to her brother's disappearance, but to the source of all real magic . . . books. As Tessa and her parents begin their search for Theo, Tessa learns that books not only tell us stories—they open portals and unlock our humanity through our most powerful tool: the imagination. Once that truth has been revealed, Tessa won't be able to rest until she has retrieved her twin and society itself has been transformed.
Two-time Newbery-winner Lois Lowry has crafted a narrative that feels at once prescient and eternal: in this world, the imagination is the revolution. Not only does Building 903 sit in the same resonant space as The Giver Quartet, but it is also a profound addition to Lois's enduring body of work—and a testament to the strength and value of her voice, vision, and legacy.
