The People of Sparks is the sequel to The City of Ember and let me tell you about it. As from The City of Ember, Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow found a world full of light and weird creatures, totally different from the city of Ember where there was no sun or creatures. They left a message in Ember telling them where they were and after a few days, everyone from Ember emerged from underground [Ember was a city underground] and they traveled on for days until they found a city, The city of Sparks. The people of Sparks were willing to let them stay in the city, but there was too much people and Sparks couldn’t possibly feed all of them. Plus, where would the Emberites eat and sleep? Finally, Sparks made a decision that the Emberites would stay for six months, in a hotel, and work for food so when they leave, they would know how to harvest crops and make a new city. But the Sparks and the Emberites aren’t eating enough and they’re working too hard. Then, the Sparks start attacking the Emberites and so they fight back until all of this leads to war. But Lina and Doon doesn’t like this; they don’t want this. They don’t want to ruin this beautiful city. So, is courage and strength enough for Lina and Doon to stop this war? Please read this book and I recommend this book to all children. I hope you’ll learn that violence isn’t the right answer, it’ll just lead to hatred and nothing will come out of it. Please Enjoy!

Aren’t these books just amazing? I love them! Have you heard about the film adaptation of City of Ember? I’m really excited about it! I can’t wait to see the action/adventure come to life, especially with Bill Murray playing the villainous Mayor Cole!
I’m an official ambassador for City of Ember, and we have a few exclusive, first-look pictures that I think you’d really like.
Would love to share them with you and have you involved in spreading the word about City of Ember as much as possible!
I hope posting on your blog did not overstep any bounds.
Look forward to talking with you soon!
Best,

The People of Sparks is the sequel to The City of Ember.
When Doon and Lina’s whole city travel to this majestic new world, they see life and light beyond what they saw in their underground city. A little city called Sparks help the people of Ember. But, that means the people of Sparks must share their food and homes. Lina, her “mom,” and her little baby sister, Poppy lives in a doctor’s house for a couple of months or so. Doon lives in a rusty, dirty, and abandoned hotel with almost all the people of Ember who didn’t get assigned to homes because of sickness or because they are an elder. The people of ember would stay in the city of Sparks for six months and they’d have to work for their food such as: feeding animals, construction, and digging. The people of Sparks did this so that when six months came they would have to leave and maybe build their own city. They’d need to learn how to build and harvest crops for their own town. When Doon gets blamed for throwing tomatoes and pushing a little girl into their city fountain, hatred starts to build up between the two groups. To make it worst, the people of Ember start getting less food and almost no food. The people of Sparks start to poison them with poison IV and spell out terrible things with mud all over their hotel. The people of Ember start to bring payback by ruining their city. They fight back and forth until it all leads to war! Pretty soon, everyone tries to avoid the war including Doon and Lina. When fires start up and heroic actions save the day, will the two groups be able to set aside their differences and come to an agreement to what’s going to happen?
I have read the city of ember and really look forward to reading The People of Sparks.
This wonderful book is about a girl and boy, who find a new world beyond their city(underground). The girl(Lina)and boy(Doon)found a way out and left their city insructions on how to get out. When their city joins them they meet the citizens of the city of Sparks. The citizens said they would let them stay, until they learned enough skills to survive. While the people from Ember(city name)stay with the people of Sparks they have conflicts between each other. Lina and Doon think voilence is not the way to settle problems. Will Lina and Doon stop the people of Ember and citizens of Sparks from wars? I think this book is for both boys and girls. There are many more exciting events in this book. I hope you read it!

They leave instructions on how to get out for the remaining people that were left behind. Once their people join them they meet the citizens of Sparks. The people of Sparks agree to let them stay until they learn enough skills. While the people of Ember stay at Sparks they have conflicts with each other. Lina and Doon do not think voilence will solve problems. Will their be a war? Can Doon and Lina help? I think this book will appeal to both girls and boys.

Dear Kelly,
Great blog! I also read The People of Sparks by Jeanne Duprau. This book is very exciting, scary, and also makes
me pretty mad. In this book when the Spark and the Ember
citizens fought and argued, it made me mad that they
couldn’t just figure it out and all become friends.
My favorite part was when the citizens all became friends
and worked as a team to put out the fire. The part in
the story when I thought it was just unbeleivable, was
when Maddy and Lina ditched Caspar when he went to the
destroyed city to find the treasure he was trying to find.
I recomend this book to boys and girls, ages 9 and
up. This is an awsome book!
