FOUND! Outside by Andre Norton http://www.librarything.com/work/95708

Book I read as a kid when i was in 4th grade, stuck with me all my life and would love to find it again.

This was about 30 years ago, (late 70s - early 80s)

Story was about a young girl (character 12-14years old) who lived inside a domed city, she was a book nerd, and they had moving sidewalks called 'wigwams'. She decided to go out on an adventure and managed to escape the dome and wanted to find a tree to see if they actually existed.

For a long time I thought the book was titled "Something called a tree." but have never been able to find anything under than title

Thank you so much to anyone who might remember the name of the book.

This thread was about a similar request: http://www.librarything.com/topic/193418. Any of the suggestions sound right?

The Dream Catcher by Monica Hughes, perhaps?

This one is a sequel to Devil On My Back

HA! Yes, Thank you for the thread, it definitely sounds like they were looking for the very same book. Someone suggested it was Outside by Andre Norton, which looks to be a match. THANK YOU!
