The City of Ember: The Graphic Novel

The City of Ember: The Graphic Novel adapts Jeanne DuPrau's beloved tale into a visually stunning format, brilliantly illustrated by Niklas Asker. Set in an underground city facing impending darkness, the story follows Lina and Doon, two young heroes determined to uncover the secrets that could save their home from disaster. As the city's lights begin to flicker, Lina discovers a mysterious message from the past that she believes holds the key to restoring Ember's brightness. With time running out, she and Doon embark on a thrilling quest to decipher the message and find a way to save their community before it’s too late. This graphic novel brings DuPrau's original vision to life, capturing the despair of Ember's dimming streets and the hope symbolized by the promise of a new dawn. With its compelling narrative and captivating illustrations, The City of Ember remains a timely and relevant story that continues to engage young readers, making it a perfect introduction to this modern classic for both fans of the original book and newcomers alike.

I was one of those teens who fell in love with Ember from the beginning when the first book was published. 🥹 I've read it so many times through the years...it's story of light in a dark world, friendship, community, and bravery touching my life over and over. This was special to read it in comic form. The characters felt at once like old friends and new ones. 🥰

This is an engaging story which is sure to keep the attention of most readers. Consider reading the next in the series as well.

This is a nice comic, but it misses the depth of the original story. If you're having trouble getting them to read this could be a great gateway to the actual book though.

I read this book as my 9 year old granddaughter's book buddy, for one of her home school assignments. The visiting teacher emailed us the teaching instructions written to accompany the book. We read together and apart, and did the accompanying study questions, vocabulary sheets, and optional writing assignments and other suggested activities. We really connected with the characters and the plot, sharing ideas about what might happen next. The action was compelling and very well suited for fifth grade reading level. Never did my granddaughter complain of being talked down to. After we completed our reading and the activity sheets had been turned in,we viewed the DVD of the book. It was fun to compare the story lines. Then we immediately started the next book of the series, The People of Sparks. We couldn't wait, and in five days we completed it. I've purchased two copies of Book 3, The Prophet of Yonwood.

This book is great. But you should definitely read the real one first. It was a quick read. I love the drawings, the word book is really great so this was awesome. I really enjoyed. Great work👌⭐️

I saw the movie, Ember, years ago and fell in love with it. Reading this graphic novel brought all the enjoyment of the movie back to me. Now Ill have to look it up so that I can watch it again!! 💖

My kids liked the story in the graphic novel so much that they asked to read the entire series. (Even the reluctant reader!) Illustrations we well done and the graphic novel stayed true to the story.
