Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

It's been several months since Lina and Doon escaped the dying city of Ember and, along with the rest of their people, joined the town of Sparks. Now, struggling through the harsh winter aboveground, they find an unusual book. Torn up and missing most of its pages, it alludes to a mysterious device from before the Disaster, which they believe is still in Ember. Together, Lina and Doon must go back underground to retrieve what was lost and bring light to a dark world.

In the fourth Book of Ember, bestselling author Jeanne DuPrau juxtaposes yet another action-packed adventure with powerful themes about hope, learning, and the search for truth.

Review:

"Dividing the point of view between Lina and Doon, DuPrau keeps the storytelling steady while skillfully casting back to the prior books....The conclusion is everything a series closer should be, satisfying but provocative." Horn Book

Review:

"Readers will find this fast-paced and clever final installment closer to the original than either of the other sequels and will enjoy the logical future detailed at the end." Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

Lina and Doon go back underground to the dying city of Ember as bestselling author Jeanne DuPrau juxtaposes yet another action-packed adventure with powerful themes about hope, learning, and the search for truth.
