About the story |
Lina has lived her whole life in the city of Ember, but is it the only city there is? When they built the city of Ember did they also include a way out. Lina and her friend Doon along with the inhabitants of Ember worry that their supplies and light will run out before they find the way. |
My opinion |
This is a great story that draws you in and has you worrying right along with Lina and Doon. I would tell a friend to read this. |

About the story |
The people of Ember have found their way to the surface and stumbled upon the town of Sparks. The people of Sparks kindly take them in and promise to teach them how to survive in this new place. Over time, however, resentment begins to build - neither group has had to share before. Will this resentment lead to war, or will Lina and Doon once again help their people 'see the light'? |
My opinion |
This was a powerful look at the problems faced by two cultures trying to coexist. I would tell a friend to read this. |

My opinion |

About the movie |
Lina and Doon need to figure out the old message Lina found in a curious box in a closet. Can they decode it before their city loses light forever. |
My opinion |
Very good movie. It follows the book fairly closely, just watch out for the giant mole! |
