This book is about a girl named Lina. She is twelve and her city requires you to work at age twelve. Today is assignment day where the students receive their jobs. Lina's normally noisy classroom was silent when the mayor walked in. He was holding a paper bag. He explained how you get a job. He said that you grab a piece of paper from the bag and on the paper is the name of the job you will get. This is when we meet a new character in the story. Doon. He was hoping for electricians helper. Lina was hoping for messenger. Instead, Lina got what she thought was the worst one, pipeworks. Doon got messenger and threw a mini tantrum. After, Doon went to Lina and asked to trade. Lina had to say yes because she wanted messenger. Soon, Lina's grandma said something was missing but she didn't know what it was. Lina went to find her little sister, Poppy.A few days later, Lina's grandma found the thing. It was a note, except you can't really read it because Poppy chewed it up. Lina spent the next few days going to do her job and then decoding the note. She found out what the note said with Doon and they set off. They went through many challenges and also tried some sweet and yummy purple fruit. Then, they saw Ember below them. Lina realised that ember was actually underground! I recommend this book to people who like adventures.

这本书讲的是一个叫莉娜(Lina)的女孩。她十二岁,在她生活的城市里,孩子一到十二岁就必须开始工作。今天是分配工作的日子,学生们将领取属于自己的工作岗位。平时吵闹的教室在市长走进来时变得鸦雀无声。市长手里拿着一个纸袋,他解释说分配工作的方式是:每个人从袋子里抽一张纸条,纸条上写着你将要从事的工作。 这时我们认识了故事中的另一个角色——杜恩(Doon)。他希望能成为电工助手。莉娜则希望当一名信使。然而结果却不如人意,莉娜抽到了她认为最糟糕的工作——管道工(pipeworks)。而杜恩抽到了信使,却为此发起了小脾气。之后,杜恩去找莉娜,请求和她交换工作。因为莉娜想当信使,只好答应了。 不久之后,莉娜的奶奶觉得有什么东西不见了,但她又说不清是什么。莉娜去找她的妹妹波比(Poppy)。几天后,奶奶终于找到了那件丢失的东西——那是一张纸条,可惜被波比咬得乱七八糟,几乎看不清内容。接下来的几天里,莉娜一边去上班,一边努力破译那张纸条。后来她和杜恩一起终于解读出了纸条的内容,于是两人踏上了冒险之旅。 他们经历了许多挑战,还尝试了一种甜甜的、好吃的紫色水果。最后,他们看到了下面的"安波城"(Ember)。莉娜这才意识到,原来安波城其实是在地下! 我推荐这本书给喜欢冒险故事的人。
