"Sequel to The city of Ember"--Back cover. -Summary: The people of Ember have come to a new world, arriving with hardly more than the clothes on their backs. The people in the village of Sparks are willing to help them, at least at first. This new world is strange to the Emberites. Why is it so empty? Why is there no electricity? What is the Disaster the people of Sparks talk of? Gradually the Emberites learn the answers to these questions. But the biggest question of all remains: Can they live with these people? Or are they heading for disaster again?
