The book I read is The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau. This book is the second book of Ember. The main characters of the book are Lina and Doon. They are both twelve and Lina has a baby sister named Poppy  (if you did not read the City of Ember, STOP reading this review  and go read the first book otherwise some things get spoiled! Linas mom and dad died because The City of Ember is underground and Linas parents were trying to get out so Lina lived with Poppy and her grandmother but Linas grandmother gets sick and dies (all in the first book). She moved in with Mrs. Murdo who is like a mom to them . The book is mainly about how at the end of The City of Ember they come out  of the ground and look for a city. They find a city called “Sparks” that they join and try to share the world. They are trying to avoid war they are having food shortages and not much  supplies to live on. They have these people called Roamers who go out to new places and bring things back to use they trade at the Sparks Plaza they get things like pots and pans matches candles cloth or clothing magnets and games seeds to plant food and things like that… The setting in the book is in Sparks a very naturey place and lots of green, not many homes, fallen apart furniture and not much that we have now.

I found out that the book is in the future and the book leaves a lot of clues why like they mention that in the  past they had moving pictures called movies and now they don’t also they had things that take pictures called a camera and now they have none of that stuff now and if you read the book you will find out all the clues.  In the book the People of Sparks have a  special weapon it reveals the weapon at the end of the book.I know what the weapon is but I don’t want to spoil. One of my favorite parts of the book is when someone from either Ember or Sparks throws tomatoes at the supplies shed and then it starts to get tense between them and other things start to happen….. Three adjectives that describe Lina and Doon are adventures, nice and curious they were the ones that lead everyone out of Ember so the are like the leaders of Ember.

I really really like this book I liked the first one and the second. Something I really like about these books are that they have mysteries and you have to find them out. I would recommend this book if you like adventures books. Also if you like funny books this is a good book for you because the Emberitties don’t know what a lot of things are that the people of Sparks have because were they come from has barley  anything that we have now they don’t know what these things are like lemons,trucks,apricots, and lots more. Some other books that are like this book are Percy Jackson and Harry Potter they are just a little similar the only thing is that this book has no magic and is a lot shorter. I like this book better than Percy Jackson and Harry Potter.  Out of 1-5 I would give it a 4 ½ but you should read it!!!
