The City of Ember

    I chose to read The City of Ember based mainly on the fact that I have read both of the other options before, but also based on the summary read in class. I have read the Hunger Games series, and I also read The Giver while in school. The City of Ember stood out to me as a book that I would be interested in right now. The dystopia trend is on the rise making for more creative versions of our world in the future. I have read a few new books with this theme and I really enjoyed the thought and imagination that went into the creation of the story. The City of Ember, being an underground city, running out of supplies seems like such a great adventure novel. The struggle to survive in this underground city, in a race against time seems like a very engaging and an "on the edge of your seat" read that I will fall in love with. I look forward to finishing this novel.
