S.4 E.30 "City of Ember"

“City of Ember” is a very well-written series for middle grade readers. It has several good messages about living moral lives. But that’s the rub—it approaches life from a humanistic, anti-religion standpoint. As I work through this series, I try to provide an example of how to look for the author’s message.
