THE CITY OF EMBER By: Josuet Martin
CHAPTER 1 ASSIGNMENT DAY
In the City of Ember everything was limited to own and get. Everything was hard to get but they made it work. Once kids turn 12, they are assigned a job for one year and if they are good at it, they will stick with their job and cannot change it but if they are not good at it, they will have only one more try to do a job. Light as well was limited too but at 8:00 pm the lights will shut off. For Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow took a different turn. A safe that was locked for 200 years finally opened, but it has been 240 years and now the city will fall. Now it is time for their ceremony for their jobs to begin.
The City of Ember is a terrific book to get, and that is just a pinch of Chapter one. There is still more to this chapter. It had so many feelings and cliff hangers when a chapter ended and so many mysteries. Totally recommended.
