The City of Ember
a novel by Jeanne DuPrau
Ember is a city with no sun and no stars — a windowless world built underground, lit by floodlights strung above its streets and fed by a generator that no one alive fully understands. The storerooms are running low, the blackouts are lasting longer, and the Mayor keeps insisting that everything is under control. On Assignment Day, twelve-year-olds Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow are handed their adult jobs — Lina running messages through the crowded streets, Doon working the dripping tunnels of the Pipeworks below — and when a damaged document left behind by the city’s founders comes into Lina’s hands, the two begin piecing the ruined lines back together and wondering whether there might be a way out. Jeanne DuPrau’s first Book of Ember is a tense, tightly built mystery about failing systems, official secrecy, and two children stubborn enough to keep asking questions. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel, with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, SAT & TOEFL-style practice, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
