The Adventures of Ember

We may take it for granted, but we're surrounded in light. What if everything was dark? What if all you had were the street lights? And, what if, by chance, there is almost no more electricity? Ooooh, suspenseful! That's what the Ember trilogy explores. Lina is a girl living in a dying underground city, facing the prospect of a power out - forever. The question is, will the chewed-up instructions show the way out of the collapsing city? And will she and her friend Doon be able to save it before it's too late?
