Review:
"DuPrau's first foray into fiction creates a realistic post-apocalyptic world where everyone has lived underground for so long that they assume it has always been that way. . . . Reminiscent of post-apocalypse fiction like Robert O'Brien's "Z for Zachariah," DuPrau's book leaves Doon and Lina on the verge of the undiscovered country and readers wanting more."--"USA Today
""The cliffhanger ending will leave readers clamoring for the next installment."--Starred, "Kirkus Reviews"
"While Ember is colorless and dark, the book itself is rich with description. . . . Part mystery, part adventure story, this novel provides science fiction for those who do not like science fiction."--Starred, "VOYA"
