[|www.cityofember.com] The City of Ember is about a 12 year old girl named Lina and a 12 year old boy named Doon. The two of them are trying to escape from a city called Ember. Ember is a city that is dying because they're running out of supplies. But the most important thing the city is running out of is lightbulbs. Lightbulbs are very important because they light the city. Without them, the city would be pitch black.

Then one day, Lina comes back from school to find her grandma looking around the house and ripping cushions apart. She said that she was looking for something that would help the people escape out of Ember. The thing, which was chewed up by Poppy ( Lina's baby sister), looked like some sort of note.

A few days later, a tragedy happens: Lina's grandma dies. So Mrs. Murdo ( a friend of Lina's) takes care of her as a legal guardian. When Lina shows Mrs. Murdo the note, she doesn't have a clue about it. So Lina invites Doon, an old classmate, to come over and look at it. The two of them figure out a few things: It has something to do with a door, a ladder, and a letter E.

But when Clary, the greenhouse keeper comes to look at it, she says it looked like a list of instructions that tell how to escape from Ember.When Lina hears this, she and Doon meet a few days later and escape with Poppy and the instructions.( That they figured out) They pass through rough rivers and climb a mountain to reach out of Ember. The question is, what will they do next?
