Lina and Doon have led their people from their underground city, Ember, to an amazing world of color, sights and smells to a village called to Sparks. At first the people of Sparks welcome them and assist them as they adjust to this new world and way of life. But then fear takes hold of the Sparks people as they are on the brink of prosperity but with 400 extra mouths to feed . . .
Tick, an Emberite, desires power and will do anything to hold it-even causing friction between the two groups of people.
Lina and Doon's characters are tested but at the end, the reader admires these individuals all the more.
Strategies: inferring, character traits, cause/effect, predicting
