#CITY OF EMBER SEQUEL GENERATOR#

They're literally and figuratively in the dark. It turns out that Ember was constructed to be the last refuge of humans should disaster ruin the world… but none of the current residents of Ember know any of this. How's that? Well, the survivors of the apocalypse don't know that they're living in a post-apocalyptic era. But what DuPrau does with the doomsday scenario gives this book a unique twist. Sure, it's a simple enough premise-a classic doomsday scenario.

And as the electricity begins to fail, and the food stores dwindle, Lina and Doon must try to put the puzzle pieces together and figure out what's going wrong before it's too late to save their city. In fact, a functioning Ember is all they have ever known. Nobody knows why the cans of food are running out.

Nobody knows how the generator works to keep the lights on-or why it's failing. Nobody in Lina and Doon's generation has ever known anything other than life in their city, ringed by absolute darkness outside its borders. Yep, things in Ember are not quite what they seem to be. Youngsters Lina and Doon have guessed that something is wrong because the lights are dimming, the supplies are running out, and there seems to be no escape. Jeanne DuPrau's 2003 young adult novel The City of Ember paints a vivid picture of life in an underground city (named-you guessed it-Ember). Are you afraid of the dark? Be glad you don't live in Ember, then.
