His is a predicament shared by many preadolescents: done with his childhood, Doon shudders at the broken society he must inherit, and cannot stand the apparent complacency of the adults around him. And what preadolescent isn't doomed, at least temporarily, to inhabit an emotional landscape of life-and-death urgency? Add in the dwindling resources and a corrupt city government, and the resemblance of DuPrau's fictional world to the reader's intensifies." SynopsisIn the year 241, twelve-year-old Lina trades jobs on Assignment Day to be a Messenger to run to new places in her decaying but beloved city, perhaps even to glimpse Unknown Regions. AnnotationThe underground City of Ember is the last refuge of human life in a post-apocalyptic world. When the City itself becomes endangered, it's up to 12-year-old Lina and her pal Doon to interpret an ancient message that might forever changes the lives of those who call the City of Ember their home.
