Jeanne Duprau

Yearling, 2007

Book 3 of 4 is highly recommended
The third book in the series "the city of ember" was not like book one and two. It didn't mention any of the characters that were in one and two. Another thing I do not get is that it's the third book, but in the section "What Happend Afterward," you realize that nickie's father was one of the builders of the underground city, The City of Ember, Which you will find more about in book one. Also, ...

Car Trouble

HarperTeen, 2006

don't judge a book by its cover.
The title is too generic and the cover picture too boring. I picked this book up only because it was in the NEW ARRIVALS section of my library. The premise also seems cliche. What's this? Another story about a socially-challenged friendless teenager? But this turned out to be one of the better books I recently enjoyed. I especially love--or maybe it's because of--Stu's presence. I rarely fall ...

The People of Sparks (Sequel to City of Ember)

Jeanne DuPrau

Random House Listening Library, 2004

PCE Student Review
The science-fiction book "The People of Sparks" by Jeanne DuPrau is my favorite book. My favorite characters are Torren and Poppy. I like Torren even though he's a jerk because he's only a jerk because of his family issues, and a lot of people can relate. I like Poppy though because she's the cute little baby that's fun-loving and sometimes can be a troublemaker. DuPrau's writing ...

Julian Messner, 1990

It was Great
I thought this book was very informational. I used the information on interracial adoption from this book for a speech I had to do for school. I found so many useful facts in it. It wasn't just that I was using it for a speech, I learned alot from the book. I think my audience also learned alot from my speech. All in all, I think it was a great book.

The Earth House

Jeanne Duprau

Ballantine Books, 1993

Graceful and thought-provoking -- a Great Book!
This book was enlightening and bittersweet. The story of the narrator trying to build a home with her partner Sylvia is deceptively complicated. The structure is elegant, the writing beautiful. It ends up being a meditation on life, death, grief, and compassion. Quietly, the story built in power. I loved this book and have read it twice since I first discovered it. It's a gem of a story, ...
