Hi everyone!

We want to give you all a BIG THANK YOU for participating. If you’re reading this, that means that you probably have finished the 2nd section of the book (ch. 6-10, 84-139). If you haven’t finished reading it yet, STOP READING THIS NOW. All I have to say about this section is: WOW. In this section, Lina finds a box that has what she thinks is a set of instructions inside, but isn’t sure what it says because her little sister was chewing on it and now all the words are scrambled up. Could this be the box that is mentioned in the Introduction? Lina thinks the note is important so she tells a few people about them, including the mayor, but none of them cares.

Then Lina tells Doon because she thinks he will be interested. Soon Lina and Doon figure out that they had to go down in the pipeworks and find a door, but when they find the door, it’s locked. A few days later Lina finds out that her Granny is sick.

Okay here is our discussion question: Doon and Lina have to work together to figure out the mystery of Ember, but they are very different people. We want you to tell us the differences and similarities between these two main characters.

Next time we talk you should be done with chapters 10-15 (pg. 132-192)
