Book Title:The City of Ember
Author:Jeanne DuPrau

Book Review:
This book is about two children,a boy and a girl, living in the city of Ember.The girl and the boy are Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow respectively.Lina wants to be a messenger as she loves running and messengers spend their time running from one place to another,delivering messages.Doon wants to be a Pipeworks laborer as that is where the generator is, the generator that keeps the lights going in Ember.Doon has some ideas about how to fix the generator as the lights are beginning to flicker and blackouts are beginning to occur.As the people of Ember have no free will to choose their jobs,they will get a job by drawing out pieces of paper with the jobs on it.No one knows what job they will get,so they will have to depend on luck to get their dream jobs. Sadly,Lina draws out the dreaded job of Pipeworks laborer,while Doon draws the job of a messenger.They offered to switch jobs when they found out that they had the job that the other party wanted.The highlight of the story is when Lina found a letter,which,unfortunately was chewed into pieces by her baby sister,and decided to enlist the help of Doon to find out the contents of the letter.While trying to find out the contents of the letter,they uncover some secrets,selfish acts that are meant not to be found out... ...

My reflections:
I feel that this is a very nice and interesting book.It is filled with suspense and cliff-hangers.I was not able to tear my eyes away from the book as I wanted to know what would happen next.I was so fustrated when I found out that there was a second book,that I did not find it and that they did not give the book title.I would recommend this book as Jeanne writes it in a way that enables the readers to feel as if they are really in the story and can really experience what the charaters were experiencing at that time.I would recommend this book to students,as it is quite a good book.
