Book Information
- About 200 years ago, inhabitants appeared in the city of Ember. The city was founded by the Builders, who left the huge food supply, instructions for almost all occasions and disappeared. However, no matter how many stocks are in the city, eventually they will end as well as the city communications.
- I LOVE the City of Ember! I read it to my class as a read aloud from Sept., and finish right before Christmas vacation. We spend 2 days watching the movie, and compare and contrast. The movie is NOTHING like the book, but the kids like comparing. I also love when they say, 'The book was way better!'

Description
About the Novel:
The City of Ember tells the tale of a society living underground for hundreds of years and the two kids who must bring them into the light. Hundreds of years earlier, a group of people descended underground in hopes to save the human race from extinction. They had enough supplies and power to last them for over 200 years, at which point, instructions on how to return to the surface would be revealed. The only problem is, no one knows these instructions exist, and when they are revealed, they are destroyed. It's up to Lina and Doon to decipher the few clues they have, locate the way out, and get this news back to their people. But it's not that easy. In their attempts to find the way out, Lina and Doon stumble on a conspiracy that involves the Mayor and city guards. As such, they are now being hunted as fugitives. Their nearly impossible task just got harder. Now they must race against the clock to escape from Ember with no knowledge of where they are going, and how they can get back to save everyone else.
