"Book 2 in a fabulous dystopian novel series! Great novel!" according to Pocketmouse. This is a book that my students asked for! We just finished reading the City of Ember as a class pleasure read, and the kids asked if we could buy the second book in the series. It is a small group reading class with middle school students being served in special education. Of course if they ask for a book I'm going to buy it for them! There are five students in the class, which means that I can buy One Kindle version of this novel and download it onto all five of their class kindle fire.
