tells the story of the people of Ember through the eyes of two young and curious adventurers: Lina and Doon. Ember is a dying city where the electricity that everyone depends on for light and heat and pretty much everything is becoming less reliable. When Lina finds a mysterious box with clues hinting at an exit from Ember, she and Doon decide to solve the clues and find the way out of Ember.
I really enjoyed this imaginative and exciting book. I thought the ideas were really clever and I am sure kids will love to try and solve the clues along with Lina and Doon. Easy to read and interesting enough to keep me turning the pages.

I read through your reviews for all four books in this series and agree that this was definitely the best of them. I loved this book. I'm so glad to have discovered it last summer.
ReplyDeleteIt was too bad the sequels (and very odd prequel) didn't work out as well.
