The City Of Ember

The basic unit of all living things, the cell is a world in itself. This book explores the workings of plant and animal cells -- what they look like, how they're nourished, and how they reproduce. It also describes the role of disease cells in the human body, and how new knowledge about cells provides hope for the treatment of illnesses such as cancer and muscular dystrophy.

It's 50 years before the settlement of the city of Ember, and the world is in crisis. War looms on the horizon as eleven-year-old Nickie and her aunt travel to the small town of Yonwood, North Carolina. There, one of the town's respected citizens has had a vision of fire and destruction. Her garbled words are taken as prophetic instruction on how to avoid the coming disaster--if only they can be interpreted correctly. As the people of Yonwood scramble to make sense of the woman's mysterious utterances, Nickie explores the oddities she finds around town all while keeping an eye out for ways to help the world.

The People of Sparks picks up where The City of Ember leaves off. Lina and Doon have emerged from the underground city to the exciting new world above, and it isnâ€™t long before they are followed by the other inhabitants of Ember. The Emberites soon come across a town where they are welcomed, fed, and given places to sleep. But the townâ€™s resources are limited and it isnâ€™t long before resentment begins to grow between the two groups. When anonymous acts of vandalism push them toward violence, itâ€™s up to Lina and Doon to discover whoâ€™s behind the vandalism and why, before itâ€™s too late.
