I just love this book and only recently have re-read and enjoyed just as much as if I had just read it for the first time.

Science- fiction.
Interesting book, but i did not enjoy the ending how it mixed "primitive' like living to modern like living. Having a helicopter mixed in with people who were farmer/ settlers.

“A really amazing dystopian sci-fi book from the 1950s. A really terrific story that readers of books like The Giver would love. Set in the far future, in a time when people are living in much more primitive, village-like settings. Religious beliefs have evolved to the extent that people believe any difference from what is "normal" (make in the image of God) cannot be tolerated. A small group of children find themselves able to communicate telepathically, but live in terror of being found out. A terrific story that leads to a thrilling escape/journey, with a surprising ending. I may do this one as a read-aloud this year. ”
