The night room  by E.M. Goldman
       This is the story of a group of HS students who get to
participate in an unusual program.  A computer scientist has written
a simulation program (virtual reality) which will put particiapants
at their 10 year HS reunion.  It has prediction abilities.  Everyone
is very tense as they go in one by one until they notice one of the
particiapants was listed as dead at the reunion.  Should they let
their friend enter the program?  has the program be modified?
     I picked this 216 page book up at our book fair.  It is kind of
a techno-mystery.  I have a feeling it will be only of interest of
older students because of the HS aspect and the amount of time spent
at the reunion - how may middle schoo kids think that far ahead?  The
techno-mystery aspect may appeal to some middle school kids

Also: for those interested, I will be working on a Web page over the
summer which will contain my book reviews - more info to follow
