I am trying to find a book I read in 5th grade. I am assuming it was concidered young adult. It was a scifi book about a group of teens who lived together in an apartment and were invited to "test" a virtual reality game.
The book actually starts with the few main characters in school, discussing what their plans were after they graduate. I can't remember if it was robots or technology that was replacing human civilization but only the "best" students were allowed to get jobs. The "worst" students were sent to live in a city? I can't remember, but I do remember a scene where the kids had to scrounge for an old mattress outside of a mattress store!
Another kid joins the group, someone the others hate at first, he was a doctor. And another kid is from a family that farms, and she expected to go to work on the farm but she wasn't allowed to.
Well anyway, they are invited to test a virtual reality game but the game becomes more and more real until eventually the group is transported to an alternate earth and given the option to stay and repopulate it for the next generation of humans.
I loved this book as a kid, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called and it's driving me crazy!!! PLEASE PLEASE someone let me know what this book is called!!! email me at: thewhitebumble@yahoo.com if you know the name... PLEASE!!
