Very interesting topic, really good!

This was one of my favorite books back at the beginning of summer reading 2020. It's about a girl named Lina Mayfleet and her best friend Doon Harrrow. They are on a mission to save their city from dying out. The lights are dyiing and soon their will be n electricity. Food supplies are also running low. Will they be able to save their city from dying, or will there be another solution?
I gave this book a 4-star rating because it was a great book but not the best I've read. I connect with the book because me Lina both have younger siblings. This book is about a city that is underground and is running out of supplies for the people and their health. Two kids, Lina and Doon, want to do something about it. After trying and trying, they are about to give up. Just then, Lina finds something that may help find a way out. Is this mysterious object linked with escaping? Is what Lina thinks the truth? If so, will the people of Ember make it out in time? Read City of Ember to find out!
In my opinion, I really liked this book. One reason why is it was interesting because the characters went through a lot of obstacles to try to get out of the city of Ember. Another reason why is it was a mystery trying to find out what happened next. The last reason why is it was very suspenseful. *****Spoiler Alert***** My favorite part is when the characters went down the stream and got to see the new city. You might like this book if you like action and adventure. You should read this book because its mysterious and will keep you on your toes throughout the whole book.
I didn’t know about this book until my librarian recommended it and I’m glad she did
