The People of Sparks By Jeanne DuPrau

The People of Sparks is the second book of the Ember Series and was actually quite good. Lina and Doon are back in this new adventure and wind up in the city of Sparks, which is finally beginning to prosper after years of hard work. It takes place after 'The Disaster' were basically everything was destroyed and people had to start from scratch all over again. The only issue is that Lina and Doon's people, the Emberites know absolutely nothing about the world above and have never really worked a day in their life. If it helps they all had know idea what chickens were and find them scary. Anyway, food has been an issue for the people of Sparks and now they are being told they must share some after many years of extremely hard work. I also think I should mention that Sparks only has around 375 people while Ember had 400. Great book but I highly recommend that you read 'The City of Ember' first.
