Found: YA Dystopian- kids leave underground society in Name that Book (Januar 2021)
Rezensionen
This book is a great book for middle schoolers because it adds concepts of science and fiction to keep the readers engaged in what they are reading. This book is full of adventure and is exciting, while it also educational. It is a great book to use for a read-aloud.
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.
A great finish to the Book of Ember series. I love that the people of Sparks welcomed the Trog family into their city and helped them learn to care and feed themselves. I was glad to see how much of Ember was salvaged and used to save the people of Sparks during their hard winter.
