Book of the Week: City of Ember

City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau

Do you like books with a good mystery? If you do, then read City of Ember. This book is definitely in my Top Ten book list. The book is about a girl named Lina and a boy named Doon. They live in an underground city called Ember. But why is the city underground? And should they escape it? These two teens are eventually determined to find out where they are and why they are there. Where they are is not the only question citizens ask themselves. Ember citizens are also scared that the electricity will soon shut off, leaving them in total darkness underground. If you read this book, you will truly not be able to put it down! I recommend this book for ages 8-13.
