When I was in fifth grade, my teacher, Mrs. E. read us books and I still remember one of the ones that she read. The story was about an young person who goes over a wall and there is a city there. All of the people in the city had little windows over their eyes.
I also remember that the main character was "window shopping" and saw something in the window that he wanted. He then saw in the reflection of the window a machine was coming down. He avoided it. He asked someone later what it was and they said that if you wanted something, it put a mark on your neck.
The main character's friend wanted to leave the city, but to do that, the friend had to forget what he wanted so the marks would disappear. He also had to get rid of the windows over his eyes.
Any help would be appreciated.
