John Christopher: The Lotus Caves

One of our personal favorites, young recalcitrant hoodlums trapped inside the Bubble, a moon dome where earth colonists are given over to live out a sentence of 25 years or so, find themselves going beyond their young selves as they break the laws of the Bubble and set out to explore, finding one of the most bizarre and best detailed of all improbables, and become trapped within an alien existence. They struggle to free themselves and retain their memories of who they are against an onslaught of utter personality absorption. Any better theme for young adult literature? Would do quite a hop of adults good to read. – reviewed by plant lifer
