THE CITY OF EMBER

INTRODUCTION

The City of Ember is a book about two children who go on an adventure. They try to figure out what a set of papers meant, and why they were there. The two main characters are Lina and Doon. Lina's baby sister, Poppy, is also a big contributor to the story at one point. The paper is chewed on, and a bit water-damaged from Poppy. It has missing or smudged letters and words. What could this mystery paper possibly be?

Why do you think this book is worth your while? It's a fun adventure that includes suspense and puzzles. The two main characters are only twelve years old, and they already have their jobs. Lina and Doon get in trouble from being too curious about what's outside of Ember. They have a strong relationship, and hopefully it'll last through this long journey.
