The City of Ember
by Jeanne DuPrau
The City of Ember is a tale of both warning and hope. The people of Ember have had nearly all their needs supplied by the builders who stocked the underground 'bunker.' After an undisclosed disaster forces the few surviving humans below ground, the inhabitants have lost any memory of the 'outside' world. 7 generations of humans later, corruption has taken hold and the city is in danger of falling into darkness. Two children discover an ancient manuscript that might lead to the key to the city's future.
