The People of Sparks

The Second Book of Ember

De: Jeanne DuPrau

Narrado por: Wendy Dillon

The People of Sparks picks up where The City of Ember leaves off. Lina and Doon have emerged from the underground city to the exciting new world above, and it isn’t long before they are followed by the other inhabitants of Ember. The Emberites soon come across a town where they are welcomed, fed, and given places to sleep. But the town’s resources are limited and it isn’t long before resentment begins to grow between the two groups. When anonymous acts of vandalism push them toward violence, it’s up to Lina and Doon to discover who’s behind the vandalism and why, before it’s too late.©2004 Jeanne DuPrau; (P)2004 Random House, Inc.

a story of hope and humanity

liked: subtle sound effects augmented the listening experience
timely lesson for today with issues of immigration, struggle, and bravery

Dissapointed

This is not as good as the fist book. Nothing interesting that happened in the storyline. I wish the story ended on the fist book

I read the book before I llistened

This is a wonderfully imaginative series, the plot well thought through so that incidents carry the story along. How the author has made it possible for two groups of people, each with very disparate experience, skills and history can become a community is a story with applications for solving problems big and small in reality. My only criticism of the audio is that the reader makes the most important characters sound too young. Having graduated after twelve years of schooling, they must be sixteen or eighteen years old and the reader makes them sound like ten-year-olds.

Let there be light

In "The People of Spark," the community faces the challenges of escaping Ember, enduring significant hardships, and even engaging in a brief conflict. Despite the struggles they encounter, they ultimately discover a way to restore electricity, reigniting hope and connection among them. Beautiful story !

Are You Over 12?

A very well-written piece but, I found myself saying,"Duh," often. I dont't reccomend this piece if your over 12 because of it's childish air. But if your looking for something fun and easy to follow go ahead, buy.
