How can they feed and house the 400 Emberites, the leaders of Sparks wonder, when they have just begun to be able to feed themselves comfortably? But if they donÂ’t, these underground people with no survival skills will surely die in the wastelands. They take them in as best they can, but grumbling and bad feeling grows on both sides. Lina returns from a failed search for her persistent vision of a city of light to find the town, egged on by the power-hungry young thug Tick, once again at the point of war, forgetting how the Earth has been destroyed before. But Lina has seen the devastation left by The Disaster, and so she risks a brave move of reconciliation, and when Doon exposes TickÂ’s trickery, the two sides join as the new people of Sparks. In this exciting and solidly constructed sequel to The City of Ember, Jeanne DuPrau moves the story on entrancingly, bringing along her cast of characters from underground and adding new dimensions and relationships as the action escalates to a satisfying conclusion that still allows for further volumes in this fine fantasy. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell Product Description: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - the people of the sparksTHE PEOPLE OF THE SPARKS BOOK REVIEW I liked this book. though at the beginning it was very dull and boring but threw out the end of the 1st week or the beginning of the 2nd week of reading it I couldn't stop reading .the book would get so interesting!I liked that it still talked about the city of ember.something I thought was interesting was Jeanne Duprau (the author)would mix your feelings.when she mixed your feelings you wouldn't want put down the book!that's when ... Read More Rating: - They've made it out--what's next for the people of Ember?This second Book of Ember examines what happens next after Lina and Doon lead the citizens of Ember out into the light of the real world. They find other survivors who are not exactly happy to see them. In the fight for scarce resources, the Emberites nearly wear out their welcome with the People of Sparks. Of course, it's all about learning to live together eventually. The People of Sparks did not knock my socks off but it is a worthy sequel and I was interested in learning what happened ... Read More Rating:  - The City of Ember's " second explores the nature of conflict and the strength and courage necessary to overcome it.This is the second book of Ember, a collection of children books. When Lina Mayfleet and her friend Doon Harrow lead the people of Ember out to the outside world, they are adopted by a town that survived the atomic holocaust ("Four Wars and Three Plagues"). Unfortunate the survivors of Ember outnumber the people of Sparks. The Sparks' town leaders decide to adopt them and to share their food in exchange for work. Lina and Doon learn, through two different pathways, ... Read More Rating: - Not as exciting-but good.I read this series because my daughter was reading them and they are a fun read! The City of Ember and the Diamond of Darkhold are by far the best. We skipped the Prophet of Yonwood because we heard it was dumb and didn't make any sense (it also has underlying themes of anti-religion in my husband's opinion). The People of Sparks is good, and somewhat interesting; but it is a little predictable and not as exciting as books 1 & 4. Rating: - Not as good as 1st bookI was very interested in this series after reading City of Ember. I was very eager to see what befell the city of Ember. Like the first book, this was a page turner as well. The story itself wasn't as good. Basically, the Embrites emerge from the underground and begin looking for other people. They happen upon the City of Sparks and seek to start a new life. They are taken in and given 6 months (during the winter months) to stay and learn how to live on the upside. Tensions rise as the people of Sparks ... Read More
