I read this book a long time ago, but just now been recently wanting to read it again and can't for the life of me get the title.
I will give what information I remember from the book..
It's a small town that I think was isolated from the real world. Kids grew up NEVER to lie, as they grew up I think when they were 6 they get a bike, everyone is the same. Everyone is black and white, no one has to worry about anything or all the emotions because the knowledge guy keeps them for the people. At the age of 12 they graduate school and get assigned jobs at the ceremony. One kid is different and they make him the new knowledge person and when the old guy would touch his arm the kid would actually go to the memories and play them out and feel how they were. The dads job was to take care of babies and if there was a baby crying for so long he'd have to kill them. He took one baby home just to see if it'd stop crying, and it only stopped crying in the boys room. In the end the boy takes the baby with him and runs from the village because he can't stand it, finds out there is a real world...
Please help me with book title, if you need anymore information just ask I can probably add more.
