Invitation to the game by Monica Hughes
Is that it? :)I suggested it solely from the subject line... didn't read your entire post until afterwards. It is a very popular book. Later published only as: The Game. Why I don't know... the first title is better.
It does seem to be the book! Thanks for the accurate and speedy reply. I see, going by the synopsis, some of the details I've mis-remembered; It has been a very long time. :)
Yay! It's an excellent book as are Monica Hughes' other science fiction stories.
Yes, I do remember it being a good read, probably why it's memory has lingered so long without any active thought. I'll have to check out some of the other works by the author. Now.. Forgive my ignorance, but this is my first time on this sight and I cant seem to figure out how to move this thread to the SOLVED folder. I'm on an android device, and see no options to edit the thread on the normal site, the mobile site nor the mobile app..
It can only be done via computer I think. An admin will do it soon. Within a day I imagine.
Oh, I see. Well, thanks again for all the help, I've purchased the ebook and have some reading to do, I think. :)
Mod
And I've moved this for you.
SPOILER
It's about a group of children that find (maybe encouraged to use) these simulators, when they lay inside they're transported to a strange yet beautiful world. Food and water is plenty, the weather is nice, they enjoy the simulation more than reality. Slowly, this changes. The weather isn't always agreeable, game becomes scarce, recourse are thin. I think one of them gets sick. Eventually they find they're no longer able to leave the simulation; in fact, it's no longer a simulation at all. Unbeknownst to any of them, the simulations had been to prepare them for an alien world, one which they are now expected to inhabit.
