ALA Notable Children's Book

Ember is the only light in a dark world. But when its lamps begin to flicker, two friends must race to escape the dark. This highly acclaimed adventure series is a modern-day classic—with over 4 MILLION copies sold!

The city of Ember was built as a last refuge for the human race. Two hundred years later, the great lamps that light the city are beginning to dim. When Lina finds part of an ancient message, she’s sure it holds a secret that will save the city. Now, she and her friend Doon must race to figure out the clues to keep the lights on. If they succeed, they will have to convince everyone to follow them into danger. But if they fail? The lights will burn out and the darkness will close in forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A Kirkus Reviews Editors’ Choice

A New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing Selection

USA Today "DuPrau’s first foray into fiction creates a realistic post-apocalyptic world. Reminiscent of Robert O'Brien's Z for Zachariah, DuPrau’s book leaves Doon and Lina on the verge of the undiscovered country and readers wanting more."

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly"Thanks to full-blooded characters every bit as compelling as the plot, Lina and Doon’s search parallels the universal adolescent quest for answers. An electric debut!"

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews "Well-paced, this contains a satisfying mystery, a breathtaking escape over rooftops in darkness, a harrowing journey into the unknown, and cryptic messages for readers to decipher. The likeable protagonists are not only courageous but also believably flawed by human pride. The cliffhanger ending will leave readers clamoring for the next installment."

This is book 1 of 4 in the "Ember" series which describes a post-apocalyptic earth in hopeful terms. I like that part of the series' approach, though the overall style can be a little pedantic (in my adult opinion) for moral lessons. However, the target audience is juvenile readers so I think the clarity and overt description of moral connections is likely appropriate. All middle and elementary schoolers I have spoken to about this book have really enjoyed it.

This book has both a female and male protagonist, making the book likely equally appealing to boys and girls. How the two relate to each other and their dying city of Ember, and how the two work to to solve problems is a nice exploration into egoism, altruism and ultimately, humility.

excellent book for 4th to 9th graders

My 12 year old son and I read together. We settle down to read and, often, to listen, as well as to read a good book together nearly every night. We love the time we spend together and the storys we discover together. This story was well written, exciting and very thought provoking. We had fun imagining such a world and way of life.

We loved this story!

City of Ember was a delightful tale "starring" two 12-year-olds, but not a kid's book, though I think they'd enjoy it, too. In the genre of "nuclear holocaust" aftermath, it wasn't a dark story (pun intended) and I really enjoyed it. I was left to ponder all the delights of our world. A few unanswered questions is the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. I do see that a sequel and prequel are available and look forward to reading those next!

City of Ember = Delightful!

It takes you into a whole new world that you've never experienced before. My son is 7 and was entranced by it from start to finish.

Perfect book for kids and Adults will love it too!

The story itself was alright, a little uneventful in comparison to books of similar genre. The narrator was not my favorite. when she spoke in her normal voice, it was fine, but any and all attempts she made at doing the characters were plain awful.

I absolutely hate the sound effects that they put in because they overpowered the reader and I had a hard time paying attention to the narrator while loud crickets were going in the background. I like what they were going for, but it was not for me. On that same note, I HATED THE MEGAPHONE PART. it was completely unnecessary and only succeeded in making me mad and annoyed while listening. it would have been much better with a different narrator and no or at least less sound effects.

it was tolerable.

Whoever is reading this is horrible. The main story line is not bad but the added background noise and the voices for the different characters are horrible and distracting. I have listened to 1000's of audio books and I almost gave up on this one, but i love the movie so that is the only reason I continued to push through it. It was torture!!

Reader Sucks

We loved the story but the narration and random sound effects killed this as an audiobook. I recommend reading the book rather than listening to this version.

Terrible narration
