Carolyn’s comments from the Building a SciFi/Fantasy Library group.

I just wanted to second the recommendation for C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, or rather, the first two of the trilogy- Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra (Perelandra is actually one of my favorite books of all time).

Madeleine L'Engle's space trilogy is wonderful too.

Another idea is Scott Westerfield's trilogy, Uglies, Pretties, and Specials- they're more of a dtstopian future than sci-fi, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. Lois Lowry's The Giver (although it's more of a gradeschool reading level) is another fantastic book in that genre.
