One of my favourite books is Truman's "Stuck in Neutral". I remember my 14 year old daughter being fascinated and horrified when she finished it. Like The Giver, teens get more out of that book every time they read it. Adults and teens each see the book from their own perspective.
I recommend it to all ages! Armin

The Giver... yes! That's a perfect example. I have gifted it, successfully, to people ages 10-75. Seedfolks, by Paul Fleischman also comes to mind as a story for all ages.
