Book
Oculum / by Philippa Dowding.
A thirteen year old girl has lived her entire life in a domed city, unaware there is a world outside the walls--a world in which there are adult humans, and where a "mother" is a living being, and not a robot.

As far as Miranda1 knows, there is one world: Oculum. Its dome, its walls and its garden are all there is. That's what the residents have been taught since birth. But William1 shows her something: a door in Oculum's wall. And if there is a door, there must be something on the other sideâ¦
What they don't know is that there is a shattered world outside where a ragged few, such as Mannfred, Cranker and their friends, struggle to survive among the ruins. These people have heard of a paradise within Oculum. And they, too, have found a door. - Orca Book Publishers
In this dystopian novel for middle-grade readers, a child finds a door to an "outside" that is not supposed to exist.
