I whole-heartedly agree with your assessment of The Giver. Like Christine, this is a book that left me with chills as well as a reminder to me (who read it as an adult), that a book being classified as “YA” doesn’t mean that it can’t be a good read to an adult as well. Such a good book.
I can also vouch for Pullman’s Golden Compass books (I highly recommend the audio editions as well, loved listening to them) and The City of Ember.
Now, I think I need to find a copy of The Alchemyst…

Well, The Giver (and its companions Gathering Blue & The Messenger) are on the top of my list as truly amazing books.
I haven’t read any of the others, but a few are already on my TBR pile… And now the others are too!! )
