Reading with David – The City of Ember

David says:
I gave this story five stars because I liked the story was an adventure and we kept hoping Lina and Doon would find the other city and they did.

I thought it was sad that Ember was so dark all the time. And that they were running out of food. I didn’t like that the mayor was stealing from his people and hiding things in the room. It was also sad that the lights flickered so often.

I thought it was nice that Lina took Poppy along in the end. I liked how she was clever enough to run away from the Mayor. I liked Doon’s bug book. I liked that Doon cared about the city and wanted to find a way to save everyone. I thought it was great that they together found the way out. I think because they found a clever way to get the instructions to Ember and Ms. Murdo found them, they will get to get out.

Reading a book a week with my six-year-old son David is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
