Designed over two hundred years ago as refuge for the human race to survive, the city of Ember was built underground. However, the city’s powered lights, food, and other precious resources have begun to collapse. Lina and her friend, Doon, like the rest of Ember’s citizens have no idea that they live in an underground city. Yet when they find an old message that may hold the key to keeping Ember’s lights from going out entirely, they risk everything to go into the unknown and save themselves, their families, and the city they love. The City of Ember is a fascinating tale that jumpstarts an excellent series for readers grades 3-7. It can be found in the Juvenile section under J DUP.
