The People of Sparks
The people of Ember have come to a new world, arriving with hardly more than the clothes on their backs. But the people in the village of Sparks are willing to help them – at least at first.
This new world is strange to the Emberites. Why is it so empty? Why is there no electricity? What is the Disaster the people of Sparks talk of? Gradually the Emberites learn the answers to these questions. But the biggest question of all remains: Can they live with these people? Or are they heading for disaster again?
"This is a tighter tale than its predecessor, and the themes explored will provide much fuel for discussion. Readers willing to venture into the adventurous terrain of a world grown from ruin should start their journey here." – Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"...its immediacy and drive make it a good choice for even reluctant readers." – School Library Journal (starred review)
