YA. SCIENCE FICTION (CHILDREN'S / TEENAGE). Mason has a habit of getting into trouble. He's been kicked out of every place he's ever lived in. Moving to the cult-like community of Alteria is definitely a last resort, even if it's better than braving the wastelands outside. But following their strict rules is a hundred times harder when Mason meets Eden, who has a wicked streak to match his own. When Eden is caught with contraband, she is forced into a virtual reality programme to purge her bad behaviour. But Mason has seen what happens to people who go in and he knows Eden will never be the same. He'll lose her forever unless he follows her into the programme - where he will have no memory of himself, or how to escape. Failure isn't an option when it means being purged from existence. Ages 13+
