Book Title: The City of EmberAuthor: Jeanne DuPrau
Illustrator: N/A
Publisher: Yearling, Copyright 2004
Number of pages: 270
Genre: Science Fiction
In this dystopian novel, Lina and her friend Doon must fight to save what's left of their city. The only light source available to their city is beginning to flickr, and they believe they may have found the key to saving their sacred City of Ember.With this being a chapter book, there are no illustrations. However, the cover of the book is very intriguing. I believe that it would attract the attention of your older and possibly more mature students. The background is very dark with the center of the cover showing a single light bulb giving off a very limited amount of light, just as in the story.
