Lina and Doon's city, Ember, is the only area that has life in their world. Beyond the city is darkness. The city's light source is light bulbs and the generator run by the underground river keeps them burning. Uncertainty fills the city as the lights are flickering off more often and for longer periods of time plus life necessities are running low.
Even though Lina and Doon are only twelve years old, their curiosity, sense of adventure, and love for the people of the city lead them to place where they can rescue the impending doom.
Every aspect of this book is excellent: character development, exciting plot, organization, good description.
The characters are admirable and the ending leaves the reader to want to read the second book!
Four books in the series.
*Highly recommend.
