Why? Why is this book a thing? Why did this story need to be told? I don't understand the drive behind getting this story out into the world, and selling it as part of the Book of Ember series. I think it would have been ok as a…
To be very honest, this book was my least favourite of the four. It just didn't appeal to me in a way the original and second did. The story jumps back to the past where the start of Ember and why the city was created. The protagonist is…

Really disappointing. I felt this book detracts from the original and engaging heart of the series. It's the epitome of anti-climatic. Really worth skipping...you won't miss anything you can't glean from a quickie summary.

This is another great book by Jeanne DuPrau. This takes Nickie into a quiet town-seeminly eventless. There is much more to come, she learns. One of Nickie's neighbours, has a Phrophet. A vision. Of fire, and war. What will happen? Read to…
