Just when the future looks bright for the people of Ember, a new darkness lurks. This highly acclaimed adventure series is a modern-day classic—with over 4 MILLION copies sold! Lina and Doon have led the citizens of Ember to an exciting new world. They’ve been given safe haven in a small village called Sparks, a place filled with color and life. But they’re not out of danger yet. Although Sparks seems like the answer the long-suffering Emberites have been hoping for, tempers soon escalate. The villagers have never had to share their world before, and it only takes a tiny “spark” to ignite a battle between the two struggling groups. Lina and Doon will have to work together to avoid a disaster not only for their people, but also for the people of Sparks. Praise for the City of Ember books: Nominated to 28 State Award Lists!

So Miss Minchin, Mistress of Sara's boarding school, has no choice but to treat Sara as her star pupil--a little princess. Suddenly one day all of the lovely people and things Sara knows are cruelly taken from her, for her father has died penniless in India.

But Sara is strong-willed and courageous, and with the help of a pet monkey, an Indian lascar, and a strange, ailing gentleman, she not only survives her sufferings but helps two pathetic friends survive as well.

The infamous Great Brain is home for summer vacation and ready to swindle anyone in Adenville, Utah, foolish enough to make a deal with him. The same money-hungry mind that built Tom's reputation as the Great Brain is undimmed by his year at the Academy. In one short summer Tom tricks his friends out of almost everything of value that they own, outwits three clever confidence men, and finally sets up business as a river raftsman. But when, to make 30 cents, Tom endangers the lives of two friends, his brother, J.D., decides it's time for The Great Brain to reform. And that's how the trial of the kids of Adenville vs. The Great Brain took place in the Fitzgeralds' barn one summer day.
