The City of Ember – Jeanette DuPrau

This is a fantastic book about a civilization that exists entirely underground. They don’t know of anything above ground. In this world, everything is controlled, even your jobs as an adult. The conflict is that the generator that is providing the only light in Ember is slowly failing. The two main characters stumble upon the mystery of their world and it is up to them to save it. It is a very easy read and you will soon get caught up in their adventure. It is a G rated book and would appeal to both girls and boys. There are already two sequels to this book: The People of Sparks and The Prophet of Yonwood.
