This book is a very amazing read for a dystopian novel. I think the reading level is very simple and it can be easily read by a grade 6 and up. I read it in grade 8 so I wasn’t really interested because the vocabulary level was so simple, especially for a grade 8 but if it your first time reading a YA novel definitely read this book. The plot is also really good it’s about a girl who loves underground in a city and the city is falling apart and they need to get out. I think it is fantastic journey. 4 Stars. @bookreader14 of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board In a city where everything was supposed to be forever, the power started flickering. In Ember, a young boy notices that each time, the power outs seem to last longer and longer. The threat of eternal darkness sets in nicely with the introduction of this young boy's journey to find his true identity and purpose. Unsure of who to trust in his rule-breaking, he is on a race against time to solve the city's biggest problem. With the uncovering of secrets, can he find a way to get the citizens of Ember out of the resource-dwindling city? - @Siri of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library This book proved to be very inspiring for me and has a very important message about not ever giving up. A girl named Lina switches jobs with another boy to become a messenger on Assignment Day. She reveals some unknown regions and tries to find a way out of the place they live. There are many problems the people in the city of Ember to deal with due to their insufficient light. Lina and her friend go on a miraculous but dangerous adventure and try to save their city from the darkness. Together, there might be a chance for them to find the passage leading out of the city where no one has been able to find before. - @redninam of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
