People of Sparks review




I recently read People of Sparks by Jeanne Duprau.


The people of Ember have finally reached the "Promised Land" otherwise known as Sparks.The leaders of Sparks reluctantly helped them by giving them food and shelter.But after awhile,the people of Sparks grew tired of helping them.Their host family's started giving them less,lower quality food.Lina stayed at Dr.Hester's house,while Doon stayed at the run down Pioneer hotel.At Lina's house ,there was a horrible,lonely boy named Torren.He had an older brother,Casper,that was a salesman in distant places.Torren was excited because Casper would come home and give him a gift from his travels.But instead of bringing him a treasure,he introduced them to his traveling partner,Maddy. To add to the fire,he told Lina she'd make a great traveler someday.This made Torren so upset,he smashed several carts of precious tomatoes on a wall and blamed Doon.Because of that,the people of Sparks and Ember turned violent to one another.Meanwhile,Lina hitched a ride with Casper and Maddy in hopes to see a new city they were going to see.She always imagined it to be spectacular.But when they got there,they found the land deserted.So when Casper went to explore it,Lina and Maddy escaped back to Sparks.They saw all the war and hate.They did things that would only hurt,not help whatsoever.But then,Doon made a discovery that would change all that forever.He found out out that the peoples leader,Tick framed the people of Sparks to make it look like they wanted war.They realized it was all a misunderstanding and they forgave one another!

I love the City of Ember series! If you are the type of person who likes to travel to different worlds when you read,this is for you!
