Publisher's Summary

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 isn'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 town's resources are limited and it isn't long before resentment begins to grow between the two groups. When anonymous acts of vandalism push them toward violence, it's up to Lina and Doon to discover who's behind the vandalism and why, before it's too late.

My likes and dislikes about The People of Sparks

I rated the overall story 5 stars because I think that the words were pronounced right and Wendy Dillon didn’t make any mistakes.

I liked the story because it was very adventurous and that in the end it was like a new beginning.

I was really annoyed with the people of sparks a couple times because they thought that the people of ember did bad things.

I would highly recommend this audiobook to people who like a lot of action and adventure.
