Jeanne DuPrau has done it again! She has come up with another great book, The Diamond of Darkhold. I felt the book was a bit rushed, but it was really good. DuPrau is really good at showing many details and all of her books include imagery throughout the entire book. I was hooked on the book from page one to the end! To understand the book more clearly, it's recommended to read the first three in the series: The City Of Ember, The People of Sparks, and The Prophet of Yonwood. The book can be clearly understood by people ages 8+.
In the town of Sparks, times are getting tougher and tougher. With a single roof collapse, food supply is short. People are growing restless and supplies are getting more rare. Doon and Lina are out to save the town again. They find a torn and tattered book that can possibly help them find a special device. But to get this device, they will have to travel back to Ember. Will they do it, or will they just pretend nothing happened?
