The People of Sparks is a thrilling science fiction novele by Jeanne DuPrau, book of the Ember series #2. Doon and Lina went on an adventure to discover new land and found a city miles from where they traveled. After a cliff hanger in The City of Ember It picks right back up in The People of Sparks. Doon and Lina had led there whole town to safety. Something people have been dreaming for years.

After years and years thing are revealed to the towns. Something that could change eveything.

Some of my favorite quotes are: “The City of Ember? What’s that? I’ve never heard of it”

and “"Remember the city, the city remember Where treasure is hidden under the ground

The city, the city, always remember”

I think this book is best for ages 9-12 years old but is a fun, adventurous, easy read for young adults.

Publishers Weekly: In this ambitious sequel to The City of Ember, "DuPrau offers a thought-provoking novel about brinkmanship and the way societies can plant the insidious seeds of war,"

“DuPrau clearly explores themes of nonviolence and when to stand up for someone else”-School Library Journal

“The fast paced tale of post-Apocalyptic strife will resonate with new and returning fans alike”-Kirkus Reviews

I recamend this book for anyone that loves adventurous and books packed full of surprises. And for a quick read!
