I read a number of Monica Hughes' books back in 1999 because she is the favorite author of a friend. Though some were harder to find, I enjoyed all I could lay my hands on. Her books have been translated into dozens of languages.

This is an interesting little book about a society's attempt to make a perfect city - a city run by a computer, where the computer becomes the tyrant instead of man. The fight to save the city is lead by two friends, Caroline the computer designer's daughter and her friend David.

This is a great book and I highly recommend it.

A very exciting book it is!!!! Reader between the age of 10 to 12 might enjoy this book. The story is really in a scientific and imaginary way. Talking about a computer named C-3 who controls the city and became the boss. It is in great vocabulary and sentence structures which makes you feel as if you are the main character. Excellent book, I would really recommand you to read this!!!!

The Tomorow City is one of Monica Hughes best books. This book is the best of two worlds. It has slightly 1984 story of a city controlled ("for the good of the people") by, instead of Big Brother, a supercomputer. It also has two compelling main cherecters, Caro and ____(it's been a while), kids who see their world losing all it's freedom and joy when everyone else dosn't seem to notice. 1984, Animal Farm and Brave New World offer a world that terifies and draws us in, The Tommorow City dose this without the hoplessness these other books have. (small spoiler ahead)Monica Hughes has written a personal and hopefull story where the good guys actually win.

The Tommorow City says "read me".
