The City of Ember-Jeanne DuPrau
Premis-A young boy and girl live in a dying city underground. After Lina (main female charector) finds a mystorious map in the back of her closet, she and Dune (main male charecter) team up to find a way out of the city of Ember. It might take them a while to figure out what to do, but with the generator failing, how much time do they really have bafore power goes out permanently? The citizens were ment to leave and start a new world years ago, and there is only so much food and energy left. With the government hunting them for trying to change things, it's now or never.
Age range-6+
Genre-Post-apocolyptic, speculative fiction, adventure, fantasy, science fiction
Rating-4.75 stars
Review-This book has a great sense of time, amazing description, a delighting plot-line, and well developed characters. I really enjoyed how it was very realistic-nothing that was hard to believe happened. .25 stars were deducted because the book is a little slow. Although that might be true, I still enjoyed how everything played out. Throughout the book, you were always wondering what was going to happen next, but not so much that it was uninteresting. I liked how it was set in a time and place so that even when everything was resolved, you still were interested in what had happened and what was going to happen. I would recommend this book to almost anyone, excluding people who don't like post-apocolypic book or books with lots of action. All in all, this book was a treat to read and I will (and have) read it again and again.
