Summary
This sequel to THE CITY OF EMBER follows the further adventures of Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow as they and other residents of Ember take up residence in the town of Sparks. Although they initially welcome the people of Ember, the residents of Sparks soon come to resent how the Emberites are taking more of their share of the town's meager resources. As tension builds between the Emberites and the people of Sparks, it is up to Lina and Doon to save the day.

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

Publisher's Notes
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.

The Moon of Gomrath
by Alan Garner
"The Moon of Gomrath" is the name of the one night of the year when the Old Magic is at its most powerful. Had Colin and Susan known this, they would never have obeyed the strange compulsion that drove them to light a fire on the Beacon. But now it is too late, the band of ancient horsemen called the Wild Hunt are awake and on the ride, and no one is safe. Colin is captured, Susan falls under the sway of the hideous Brollachan, and all along Alderley Edge the forces of evil rally for the conflict to come. For there will be a battle, the likes of which cannot be imagined by mortals. And the outcome -- and all the hopes of the world -- depend on three unlikely champions: Susan, Colin, and their ally, the Wizard Cadellin.
