[LM_NET] Target: Anyone know this book?

[The Librarian Lady <daichan@SHAW.CA>]

I just had a request from a student for a series of books - he can't
remember the title or author but this is the description:
Three kids live in a city that is divided by social status.  One's social
status is changed by passing a test.  These three children escape from the
city out into a desert where people travel with wind buggies.  There are
three books in this series and they are red with a crest on the front. 
Anyone recognize this?

"The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope
For. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it
From a distance but live right in it, under its roof. What I want is so
Simple I almost can't say it: elementary kindness. Enough to eat, enough
To go around. The possibility that kids might one day grow up to be
Neither the destroyers nor the destroyed. That's about it..."
