This is a book by Jeanne DuPrau. It was written for young people, but like the Harry Potter books, adults can enjoy it as well.
In this book, Ember is an underground city that is cutoff from the rest of the world. The residents don't really know where the city is, or if there is anything outside of their city, however. They do know that there is no light outside the city, so they cannot leave. They have electric lights, but no portable lighting of any kind. The city is running out of supplies, and their electric supply is starting to fail.
Two residents of the city find a document that explains how to leave the city, but it is damaged. They do figure it out in the end and go.
There are three other books in the series. Looking forward to reading the others as well. Recommended.
