I need help finding a book i read only half of, a long time ago and its really bugging me. It was part of my English 9 curriculum if that helps.

I'll try and give as much info i can but my memory is foggy from years of abusing drugs, here goes...

- set in the future, sort of post apocalyptic time
- ruins and remnants of old cities and buildings but ppl usually stayed away from them
- main characters lived in small village they farmed and were sort of simple ppl
- everyone was god fearing i think and was paranoid of blasphemy or anything different
- any deformities or anything unnatural and u would be killed, if i remember correctly
- main character was a teenage boy and had some sort of telepathic ability or something i cant quite remember and he had to hide it from everyone( on account of blasphemy)
- main char met few other ppl with or was friends with other ppl who had same ability and they kept it a secret
- main char had a baby sister that started to show signs of the telepathic ability but extremely strong, so strong it was a liability to the others

not much i know

Unless you also read this book, I'll prolly never find. You guys are my last hope, my final stand if you will.

10fg for grabs too! If you know it.

Umm, off the top of my head that sounds like 'The Giver'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giver

The Chrysalids

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chrysalids

oh shit! thats it ty so much!

after the first four lines i knew what is was lol...

ty 4 gold

i read the wiki for 'the giver' and it is sounds so amazingly close to this book i almost thought it mite be it, but then i read the name chrysalids and bam it hit me like a sack of door hinges, both get 10fg ty guys

why'd you wanna find it so bad any way?

i dunno, was a interesting story and i never finished it, im not really big into reading and kinda want to read more so what better place to start +it was one of those things where u start thinking about it , trying to remember, its something so simple as a title and u cant remember it so it starts to bug the shit out of you...yeah that kinda thing lolz
