I read "The City Of Ember" when I was in grade seven, and when I was in grade eight I read the sequel "The People Of Sparks." I loved both of the books, and I couldn't put the book down! It shows how fast conflict can escalate, and how the easy way of doing things isn't right. This book is also Science-Fiction, so it has that bit of fantasy without being somewhere off in space. The people of Ember emerge from their underground city, and find the small village of Sparks. The people of Ember are overwhelmed with the new things on the surface, but when tension rises between the two groups of people, this new world on the surface isn't as lovely as they thought.

I found this book rather boring. It's way too easy to guess what's going to happen, the plot moves too slowly, and the dialogue sounds fake. It takes alot of talent to make dialogue sound real, and the author does not have that talent, apparently.

A second book in a 3 book series, the people of Ember find themselves on the surface of the Earth after 247 or so years.Their city population is 417 people. They wonder around to a small town of Sparks and settle. The people there will let them stay for 6 months, teaching them all they know about growing a city. After a long time, trouble is begining in Sparks and the two peopels are about to start a war. Will they be able to stop fightiing or take on the actrs of their ansestors?

picks up halfway though

this is a fun paked book never want to stop kind of slow in the begining but vey interesting.

there is good roll model and positive messages cuz doon saved torren even when torren framed him

I read The city of Ember in grade five or six. I read the people of Sparks in grade 7 (I am now) and I cant wait to read the third one! (There is a third one. I dunno if its out...) Great to do character studies on. :) The summary in my own words is kinda hard because theres so much going on, its so awsome and I couldnt say it all because it was only 300 words max! But it was a good book in all!
