This had an interesting plot and I enjoyed it! I was surprised to find it in the children section of our library, I would have said it was a good young adult read.

YA sci-fi. If you’ve read anything, ever, you will pretty much know everything that’s going to happen in this book, but it’s still well-told and engaging. I liked the main characters, spritely Lina and the unfortunately named Doon, and I liked some of the smaller details about the City of Ember. I actually really want to see the movie now, to see that vast darkness and flickering light made real. I will also be looking for the sequel.
