The City of Ember

July 20, 2005 | 1 Comments

This charming story, by Jeanne Duprau, takes place in the dark city of Ember, a city where it’s always night the vast, and slightly scary, Unknown is beginning to creep ever closer.

Hard times have hit Ember. The city’s electrical lights are failing, food is becoming scarce, and Ember’s people are starting to become frightened. It’s up to Doon and his sort-of-friend Lina to find a way to save Ember.

A charming story with an interesting and engaging setting, The City of Ember is perfect for those who are looking for good reads while waiting for the next installment of Harry Potter. It’s targeted for teens, but is a nice read for adults as well.
