The Giver by Lois Lowry
Quote:
Winner of the 1994 Newbery Medal, this thought-provoking novel centers on a 12-year-old boy's gradual disillusionment with an outwardly utopian futuristic society; in a starred review, PW said, "Lowry is once again in top form... unwinding a tale fit for the most adventurous readers." Ages 10-up.

(this was a Daily Deal once, some of you might already have it)
For whatever reason, Amazon has already price matched, but Google hasn't updated yet for me and a search doesn't bring up this book (maybe this isn't available via Google in Canada?). I'll check back later and add the link if it shows up.
