The City of Ember

This was such an enjoyable read, I didn't want to put it down! It was definitely better than the movie. (Aren't they always?) If you like post-apocalyptic type of stories, this is one you will truly enjoy.

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series, and find out just what happens to the people of Ember. This would also make a great read-aloud for school-aged kiddos, with plenty of character issues and motives to make for great conversation starters.
