Book Reviews

Published Review Example: The City of Ember By Jeanne Duprau…..lit focus: setting and characterization

“Well-paced, this contains a satisfying mystery, a breathtaking escape over rooftops in darkness, a harrowing journey into the unknown, and cryptic messages for readers to decipher. The setting is well realized with the constraints of life in the city intriguingly detailed. The likable protagonists are not only courageous but also believably flawed by human pride, their weaknesses often complementing each other in interesting ways” Kirkus Reviews

Bradbury’s classic story “All Summer in a Day” illustrates the challenges of adapting to new environments and the dangers of not understanding and accepting those dealing with such challenges. The reader shares Margot’s pain when it’s realized her one chance to see the sun has been taken from her by her jealous peers.

~Ima Reader Books Galore

Ray Bradbury’s

Though shunned by her peers, new arrival Margot looks forward with her classmates to the sun finally shining on perpetually rainy Venus. Having tired of her reminisces of the sun’s warmth and glory, the students’ harassment goes too far when they lock her in closet, forgetting about her until she has missed the sun.
