They've been given safe haven in a small village called Sparks, a place filled with color and life. But they're not out of danger yet. Although Sparks seems like the answer the long-suffering Emberites have been hoping for, tempers soon escalate. The villagers have never had to share their world before, and it only takes a tiny \"spark\" to ignite a battle between the two struggling groups. Lina and Doon will have to work together to avoid a disaster not only for their people, but also for the people of Sparks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Praise for the City of Ember books: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eNominated to 28 State Award Lists \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn American Library Association Notable Children's Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing Selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Kirkus Reviews Editors' Choice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Child Magazine Best Children's Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Mark Twain Award Winner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA William Allen White Children's Book Award Winner\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A realistic post-apocalyptic world.

Lina and Doon have emerged from the underground city to the exciting new world above, and it isn't long before they are followed by the other inhabitants of Ember. The Emberites soon come across a town where they are welcomed, fed, and given places to sleep. But the town's resources are limited and it isn't long before resentment begins to grow between the two groups. When anonymous acts of vandalism push them toward violence, it's up to Lina and Doon to discover who's behind the vandalism and why, before it's too late. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"From the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJEANNE DuPRAU is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the City of Ember books, which have been translated into multiple languages and are a time-honored staple in elementary school classrooms.
