City of Ember 1-5

The City of Ember is turning into a really great book! The first five chapters describe the setting, characters, and the conflict. Living in this city is the only way of life the citizens know, they do not know what they are missing by living underground. Their days and nights are decided by the lights turning on and off- when they are off the city is in complete darkness, not even able to see in front of their faces. I cannot even imagine living this way. Lina dreams of a very bright city and longs to go there one day. I am hoping that this brave girl gets her wish!  This book is really interesting and I have started reading more than we have assigned ourselves!
