Additional The City of Ember Information
|
Many hundreds of years ago, the city of Ember was created by the Builders to contain everything needed for human survival. It worked - but now the storerooms are almost out of food, crops are blighted, corruption is spreading through the city and worst of all - the lights are failing. Soon Ember could be engulfed by darkness-But when two children, Lina and Doon, discover fragments of an ancient parchment, they begin to wonder if there could be a way out of Ember. Can they decipher the words from long ago and find a new future for everyone? Will the people of Ember listen to them?

What Customers Say About The City of Ember:

I am hoping this will provide an extra opportunity for us to bond. Initially I decided to purchase the series because I am a substitute teacher and I would go in to special reading classes for a few days and the students would be reading this series, book by book. He has The City of Ember (he is excited to read a book that will be a movie) and I am now ready to send The People of Sparks. I would get very interested and then my time would be up and I wouldn't have gotten to read all of any of the books. I decided to buy the series and then, as I read each book, send it to my new 5th grade step-grandson. I am REALLY enjoying these books on so many levels. What a great message they are sending.
this book has the makings of a great series. characters are well developed. jeanne has really pulled off a great book. the only thing was it was hard to imagine what was going on during certain parts because rvents in this book could never happen.
Highly recommended. I see there are others in the series, but it is also a stand alone book BTW.
At first glance, I could not really tell what type of book this was but I knew I liked being there. This is a book that makes you wonder about the future. This adventure is about a girl called Lina and a boy called Doon who are trying to save their dying city while a villain is trying to destroy it. It gets your imagination going and keeps it running. The perfect setting for this book is a dark gloomy night when the trees are waving in the wind and lightning is crashing through the sky. Our heroes race against time into amazing and scary adventures that will keep you riveted to your seat.
The entire Ember series is outstanding. Fast-paced, engaging reads with believable characters, these books address big issues in a way that is comprehensible to young readers.
