Plot:  The giver is written in the point of view of Jonas, an 11 year old boy living in a futuristic society that has eliminated all pain,fear, war and hatred.
Conclusion: The ending to The Giver is sort of a "take it how you like it" deal. Either Jonas and Gabriel make it to Elsewhere, everyone is happy, and the world is right as rain, or… they die of exposure/starvation in the freezing snow.

Summary: After a visit with the Happy Medium, an oracle who tells them what path they must follow, the children are taken to the planet of Camazotz, a planet overtaken by the Dark Thing.  The children meet the Man with the Red Eyes who tries to "hypnotize" them into following IT. They are then taken to see Meg's father who has been imprisoned by IT. After Meg heroically rescues him from his glass chamber, Charles Wallace, still under IT's influence, takes them to see this IT. On another planet, Ixchel, Meg is healed by a giant, tentacled beast called Aunt Beast. Aunt Beast shows her the meaning of true love and soon gives her the strength to offer her self to save Charles Wallace. Alone and back on Camazotz, Meg confronts IT face to face, and, using the only power that IT does not have - love - is finally able to defeat it.

Plot: A Wrinkle in Time is the story of Meg Murry, a high-school-aged girl who is transported on an adventure through time and space with her younger brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin O'Keefe to rescue her father, a gifted scientist, from the evil forces that hold him prisoner on another planet.
Conclusion: Mr. Murry and Calvin Wallace both escaped from IT, but the giant brain dude is still pulsating out there on Camazotz, and most of the people of that planet probably didn't even know that the Murrys were poking at their collective brain. The ending of the novel is definitely happy. But from another perspective, the more universal perspective that the novel itself cultivates, that happiness is very limited.

The D-Tent boys got to stay together, Twitch, Zigzag, Armpit, X-Ray, Magnet, and Squid. They were sent to a camp in California, Camp Milridge.
