The People of Sparks

This story is a sequel to the book “The City of Ember”. The book “The people of Sparks is about a city who undergo different problems in their new life. The people of ember just came out from living underground where their city was destroyed. But have no idea how to survive on the surface. Wandering for days, exhausted and hungry, they come across the village of Sparks. The city takes in the city, knowing that they have too, but don’t really want to give up their food and shelter. They only agree to keep the people of Ember just long enough to teach them to survive on their own. But food is tight, the Emberites don’t seem to know anything, and the villagers soon begin to get mad and resent having to take care of them. Also mysterious acts of vandalism heightens the anger on both sides, until conflict seems inevitable. The people of Ember feel like they are slaves to the people of sparks. People fight, people leave and don’t come back, can the two cities put aside their differences, or will it become so terrible that their only choice is war.

I really liked this book. The first book, “The city of Ember” was really captivating and interesting. They had a really interesting plot that was different and interesting. The author was really descriptive to. The same goes for “The people of Sparks”. I felt I couldn’t put the book down. It always had a new problem or new conflict that needed to be resolved, so you never got board with the same thing. I felt she really connected with the characters too. You could always be really connected with the characters and feel like their feeling. I feel a lot of people will enjoy this book.
