The Diamond of Darkhold / Jeanne DuPrau / 285 pages

     This is the fourth book of the City of Ember series.  It came out sometime after the first three books and I missed it.  It was a satisfying conclusion.  Lina and Doon must return to Ember to try to help everyone in Sparks.  It is a book that is hopeful because even though the people are really experiencing hardships, they work together as a community.  The Troggs (another family from a different area) are trying to be survivalists and are the villains in the book, but are helped in the end.  The potential is there in the end for a new, brighter future society.  Great conclusion to a really great series.
