"The book teaches children about kindness and appreciating everyone's uniqueness."

Their city is running out of light, and they have to figure out how to save it! As they go on their adventure, you'll learn about friendship, courage, and solving problems. The world of Ember is really interesting, and you’ll want to keep reading to find out what happens next. Plus, it makes you think about how important it is to take care of our own world!"
