잔 뒤프라우의 인기 연작 소설인 ‘엠버(Ember) 시리즈’의 첫 번째 책으로서, 앞으로 다가올 우리 인류의 암울한 미래 모습을 너무나도 현실적으로 잘 표현한 미래 소설을 만화 형식의 Graphic Novel로 재구성한 책입니다.
‘빛의 세계’를 찾아 나선 리나와 둔의 숨 막히는 모험!
인류의 마지막 운명을 간직한 채 어둠과 비밀에 싸인 도시, 엠버. 엠버를 둘러싸고 있는 것은 온통 어둠뿐이지만, 그곳엔 달도 별도 없습니다. 엠버에서 가장 소중한 것은 빛입니다. 그런데 도시가 건설된 지 200년이 지나면서 엠버를 지탱하던 발전기가 노후되자 불빛들이 점점 빛을 잃어가고, 식량과 물자마저 고갈되기 시작합니다. 자생 능력이 없던 평화로운 도시가 점점 공포감에 휩싸여 가던 어느 날, 리나는 고대 건설자들이 남겨놓은 봉인된 상자 속에서 오래된 문서 하나를 발견합니. 그리고 위기에 처한 엠버를 구할 수 있는 길이 이 비밀문서에 있다고 확신하며, 친구이자 배관수리공인 둔과 함께 필사적으로 암호 같은 수수께끼를 풀어 나갑니다.
리나와 둔은 도시가 영원히 암흑에 잠기기 전에 엠버의 숨겨진 비밀을 풀 수 있을까요? 엠버를 둘러싼 ‘미지의 지대’의 암흑 너머에는 과연 무엇이 있을까요? 빛이 사라진 세계, 우리는 무엇을 볼 수 있을까요?

Book Description
The city of Ember was built as a last refuge for the human race. Two hundred years later, the great lamps that light the city are beginning to flicker. When Lina finds part of an ancient message, she’s sure it holds a secret that will save the city. She and her friend Doon must decipher the message before the lights go out on Ember forever! This stunning debut novel offers refreshingly clear writing and fascinating, original characters.
Booklist
The city of Ember, the only light in a vast world of darkness, is dying, and two young teens might be the only ones who can find the way out of their darkening town-if they can escape the machinations of a corrupt mayor. DuPrau’s well-received dystopian and postapocalyptic middle-grade novel is ably adapted into graphic-novel form by Middaugh and Asker. Middaugh is not afraid to cut as needed, removing scenes and characters with the hand of a screenwriter. The result is a streamlined work that moves quickly while retaining the heart of the original story. Fans of the novel may notice the loss of some of the drama in the foreshortened scenes, but readers new and old will appreciate the muted colors of Asker’s artwork, which clearly shows the dinginess of Ember and the generic quality of people who have bred past specific races. The main characters are drawn young, but their maturity should help the graphic novel, like the book, cross over from elementary- to middle-school appeal.
School Library Journa
“Lina and Doon have spent their entire lives surrounded by darkness. Lina is an optimist and a dreamer who just knows there is something beyond the city of her birth. Doon is much more practical. He knows that if he can just get a good look underground, he can fix the city's constant blackout problem. A chance encounter on Assignment Day allows the two children to meet and exchange jobs, essentially giving the other what they've always wanted. They start to unearth an evil plot by the city's obese and greedy mayor to steal away precious resources from the people who live there. Using clues left behind by Lina's late grandmother, they travel beneath Ember's tunnels in a desperate attempt to find a way out. Based on DuPrau's novel (Random, 2003), the story brings the city of Ember to life using many muted yellows and earth tones. While the interior vantage points from Lina's and Doon's perspectives make Ember's public buildings and homes seem large, advanced exterior shots surrounded entirely in black give readers a sense of just how isolated Ember is. Lina's wonder and Doon's frustration are easily visible through Asker's skill in detailing facial expressions, helping to visually elevate a story literally besieged by shadows. Dystopian stories can be dark, and this one is literally so, but its ultimately hopeful message will resonate.”
Kirkus Reviews
"Effective use of light and shadow in the art give this graphic adaptation of the 2003 novel a properly spooky look. The tale is told in a visual, cinematic way with an admixture of quick reaction shots and wordless action sequences that allow readers to race along almost as fast as they can turn the pages. Asker's penumbral scenes underground and broad, grassy Eden above are strongly atmospheric and depict both settings and the clearly delineated cast (particularly the grossly corpulent Mayor) in tellingly crisp detail."
