This sci fi fantasy is set in the future. The underground city of Ember is now about 200 years old and falling apart. Food is scare, light is constantly being challenged, the pipes are breaking. The Builders, who designed the city, never planned for it to last forever, so they stored an escape plan in a box which was handed down from mayor to mayor.
Lina Mayfleet, a 7th generation grandchild of a mayor has come across the box, and its centuries old message. Her sister Poppy nibbled a bit out of it, but with the help of Doon they may be able to find a way out of Ember.
