The People of Sparks picks up where The City of Ember leaves off. Lina and Doon have emerged from the underground city to the exciting new world above, and it isn’t long before they are followed by the other inhabitants of Ember. The Emberites soon come across a town where they are welcomed, fed, and given places to sleep. But the town’s resources are limited and it isn’t long before resentment begins to grow between the two groups. When anonymous acts of vandalism push them toward violence, it’s up to Lina and Doon to discover who’s behind the vandalism and why, before it’s too late.

"DuPrau offers a thought-provoking novel about brinkmanship and the way societies can plant the insidious seeds of war."

Publishers Weekly, 03/01/2004

"This is a tighter tale than its predecessor, and the themes explored will provide much fuel for discussion. Readers willing to venture into the adventurous terrain of a world grown from ruin should start their journey here."

Janice M. Del Negro, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, July/August 2004
