Product Description

Product Description

When the people of the underground city of Ember follow Lina and Doon to the surface, little prepares them for what they will encounter. Leaving behind the darkness that has been their home for generations, they discover a world of colour, warmth and light. The people of the small village of Sparks seem willing to help them ...at first ...but life on the surface has it's dark side too. Before long the villagers of Sparks become more reluctant to share their precious resources with the strange, new underground people. Lina and Doon watch in horror as the differences between the two groups grow into resentment, anger and hate. Somehow they must help overcome the distrust and bring the people of Ember and Sparks together.


From the Back Cover

Sequel to THE CITY OF EMBER

‘We came down the river from the Pipeworks and found the way to another place. It is green here and very big. Light comes from the sky.’

Lina and Doon have led the people of Ember out of the darkness of their underground city into a bright new world full of colour and life. They are accepted by the people of Sparks, one of the small, scattered communities living in the post-Disaster world.

But life on the surface has a dark side too. As time passes, the villagers of Sparks become more reluctant to share their precious resources with the pale strangers. Before long the differences between the two groups grow into resentment, hatred and violence, threatening to destroy the people of Ember’s chance of survival. Somehow Doon and Lina must find a way to overcome the distrust and bring the people of Ember and Sparks together.

Praise for THE CITY OF EMBER:‘a most engaging writer . . . lively characters and genuine suspense . . .’ Jan Mark, TES

I loved Ember and I loved Sparks too. Lina's back with all her classmates still searching for the city of her dreams. There are some great new characters like Torren and Tick and new puzzles for Lina as the Emberites struggle to understand the world outside. So pick up this book and start reading. I can't wait for the next one in the series.
