This book is by Jeanne DuPrau. It is the last in the Ember series.
Although really written for children, the series can be read and enjoyed by adults. I read the first book after seeing a preview for the movie and continued reading the series, because I wanted to see how things turn out for the characters.
There are valuable lessons in this book that could benefit many children, like in the rest of the series. Well, adults might learn a thing or two also.
The book opens during the first winter after the people of Ember emerge and take up residence in Sparks. Life is tough to say the least.
Lina and Doon find a book that tells of something left for the people of Ember from the people who set up Ember. The book is damaged so they have to figure out many things involved for themselves.
They decide to go back to Ember. They have to figure out a way to get back in and do. Upon arrival, they find that some people from outside are in the city. The real adventure begins.
Lina and Doon eventually find what the book was talking about and figure out how to use it. A very valuable discovery.
The author then ties up loose ends to bring the series to a conclusion. I think it was ended off well.
Give it a try.
