The City of Ember book series, by Jeanne DuPrau, (2003) is a science-fiction fantasy series loved by students and educators alike. Many elementary, intermediate and middle schools incorporate City of Ember books in curriculum. Homeschoolers, I recommend you add this series to your required reading. The City of Ember movie came out a few years ago and now students can read the stories and follow up with the film version for comparison. There are four books in the series, The Diamond of Darkhold, The People of Sparks, The Prophet of Yonwood along with the original. Here are Free Printable City of Ember Book Series Activities
