One of my Language Arts teacher's brought me this request. I told her I
knew where to find the answer! TIA
My brother Jack is looking for a young-adult novel he read in the 6th
grade (he's 30 years old now, so it was some time ago, probably around
1983). He says that on the cover, there is a picture of a staircase, and
the novel's plot involves kids who are incarcerated in this
staircase-type-maze in which they must respond to stimuli in order to
receive food and water, so they are like rats in a maze. When the kids
are released, they think that the traffic lights in the outside world
are stimuli like those in the maze.
Does this plot ring any bells? Jack really wants to find this book
again.
P.S. Jack's teacher read it to his whole class, so it may be a novel
that was popular for class-wide read alouds in the mid 1980s.
