Comments by Steve Frye about his book:
"There is a joy in reading a classic for pleasure and not out of obligation. You become aware of why they are classics. It allows you to join the great conversation of what it means to be human. As Tennyson says through the character of Ulysses, “I am a part of all I have met.” It is empowering to meet with greatness."

Comments by Dottie Frye about her book:
"In my experience in children’s theatre, I’ve always had an awareness and appreciation for literature for children and young readers. From the youngest to the oldest, it is the written word that stirs the imagination. Characters become real, adventures become our own, and we are transported to galaxies and far away places without ever leaving our couch, cubby, or favorite reading spot. The Giver touches the heart and the mind, reminding us that memories need to be shared."
