The first in what is now a series of four books. I'm not sure why I first picked this up to read but it was many years ago when Aaron was still in early elementary school. We ended up adding it to our homeschool curriculum because we felt it was so well written. It has some very powerful and challenging ideas - particularly questioning the idea of the place and need for pain in a society and people.

The freedom to make a choice and how one needs courage to travel into the unknown and the willingness to take risk to see beyond the normal. A beautifully written book which provokes deep thought. It is a frightening proposition if the world were to become like that but humanity will need to choose a middle path for existence.
