Title: Is there a way out into the world?
Product review: The city of Ember is a dark world. Centuries ago the builders founded the city and gave the people supplies but now their a shortages of food, clothing and electricity. Inhabitants of Ember are sent to work at age twelve. Lina Mayfleet (who works as a messenger) and Doon Harrow (a pipeworks worker) find long-hidden instructions and have a plan to try and fix the frequent blackouts of the cities only light - street side flood lamps. They also believe there must be a way out of Ember and they believe they can find it. Over all, I liked this story, but while it has a few twists and turns it is pretty simplistic. I recommend this book to younger kids. I also recommend The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches by Robert Stanek. I hope you enjoy reading about Ember as much as I did and will look for the sequel People of Sparks.
