The People of Sparks - Jeanne DuPrau

Just when the
future looks bright for the people of Ember, a new darkness lurks. This
highly acclaimed adventure series is a modern-day classic-with over 4 MILLION
copies sold!

Lina and Doon have led the citizens of Ember to an exciting new world. They've
been given safe haven in a small village called Sparks, a place filled with
color and life. But they're not out of danger yet. Although Sparks seems like
the answer the long-suffering Emberites have been hoping for, tempers soon
escalate. The villagers have never had to share their world before, and it
only takes a tiny "spark" to ignite a battle between the two struggling
groups. Lina and Doon will have to work together to avoid a disaster not only
for their people, but also for the people of Sparks.
