This highly acclaimed adventure series is a modern-day classic--with over 4 MILLION copies sold! </b> <p/> Lina and Doon have led the citizens of Ember to an exciting new world. They've been given safe haven in a small village called Sparks, a place filled with color and life. But they're not out of danger yet. Although Sparks seems like the answer the long-suffering Emberites have been hoping for, tempers soon escalate. The villagers have never had to share their world before, and it only takes a tiny "spark" to ignite a battle between the two struggling groups. Lina and Doon will have to work together to avoid a disaster not only for their people, but also for the people of Sparks. <p/> Praise for the City of Ember books: <p/> <b>Nominated to 28 State Award Lists!</b><br> <b>An American Library Association Notable Children's Book</b><br> <b>A New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing Selection</b><br> <b>A Kirkus Reviews Editors' Choice</b><br> <b>A Child Magazine Best Children's Book</b><br> <b>A Mark Twain Award Winner</b><br> <b>A William Allen White Children's Book Award Winner</b> <p/> "A realistic post-apocalyptic world.
