    I had read it for school because for my reading level I was a 5.8 but I had just gotten done with a different series that was for young adults. Maybe if I had read this book before my other series I may have liked this book more, but I don’t sadly. I am going to read the rest of the series though to finish it off.

    This series was a staple in the library in grade school. Back then, there was only one book out though. I had always wondered about the City of Ember and wanted to re-read. Excellent, very captivating and detailed. Full of lots of adventure. Suited for all ages! I’m on book 3 out of 4 and I would recommend reading this book
