Lina, Doon, and four hundred others have escaped from their imperiled underground City of Ember, but the town they find to take them in offers only conditional haven. For six months the people of Sparks will help them, but relations unravel well before the deadline. While this sequel is less story than situation, fans of the exciting first book will surely want to continue the adventure.
