What They're Reading
Fourth Grade and The City of Ember Print E-mail
The entire fourth grade read The City of Ember before they went to see the movie. Here are some of their comments.
  • "This book was extremely well written. Jean DuPrau did a spectacular job replicating what it might be like to live under ground.  It gets a little slow in the middle, but hang on! It will keep getting better!" --Daniela
  • "I really liked this book because I thought there was a lot of adventure and it shows that one, or two people can make a difference no matter how big or small they are. This book would be good for someone who doesn’t mind a little sadness or scary parts. Overall this is a wonderful book for everyone." - Claire
  • "This book will now join my list of all-time favorites (including Allie Finkle: Moving Day, Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism, the Andrew Clements books, and now- The City of Ember." -- Loreen
