The City of Ember The writer is Jeanne DuPrau she is Female

Lina is an adventurous girl that wants to know what is out of the city of Ember.

Doon is a boy that wants to save his city from the disastrous ending.

Poppy is Lina's baby sister.

The comments about the setting is the City of Ember is underground.

The story is about courage hard work and friendship.

First the lights started to go out 3 times a week.  And then more and more then one day the lights went out longer then they had ever gone out before they went out seven minutes and fifteen seconds.

I thought that the book was good. I liked how it was easy to find the way out. I didn't like how it took them a long time to to find it. The story was hard to believe. The story was predictable sometimes. The Ending was OK.
