The Giver by Lois Lowry
In a seemingly perfect community without pain or choice, twelve-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the Receiver of Memory. As he learns the truth about his society from the Giver, he begins to question everything he has ever known and must decide whether to accept the rules or seek freedom.
