Our sixth class read-aloud of the year is The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau. It is a mysterious book. It is about a town that is dark and gloomy. When kids turn twelve they get a job. The builders of the City of Ember wrote instructions for the citizens and placed them in a box that is going to open many years later. The citizens of Ember experience blackouts and shortages making life very difficult, tough, and challenging. The two main characters are Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow. They are very unique and interesting kids.

I had never heard of this book until Mrs. Alaniz introduced it on a Monday. I was hooked when she read the first chapter to us. I have only been able to hear bits and pieces of it since I am only with you all on Mondays and Tuesdays. I hope that you can catch me up on Monday! I hope that you all have had a great week and enjoy your weekend. I am looking forward to Monday! You all are a great class and I know you will be able to catch me up :)
