Just when Lina thought she could warn the city, everything goes wrong… In Chapter 16 of The City of Ember, Lina is captured by the mayor’s guards—and it seems all hope is lost. But when the lights suddenly go out, she seizes her chance. In a heart-pounding escape, Lina races through darkness and danger… and climbs to the roof of City Hall. Will she find safety—or even greater danger—above the city?

Join this dramatic read-aloud as tension climbs (literally!) and Ember’s secrets push closer to the surface. Perfect for middle grade readers, book lovers, and fans of adventure and dystopian fiction.
