This is a fantastic series, I recommend it to everyone I meet, haha. Have you heard about the movie yet? Walden Media and Fox are releasing the City of Ember on October 10th of this year! I can't wait to see the action/adventure come to life, especially with Bill Murray playing the villainous Mayor Cole! I'm also an official ambassador for City of Ember, and we have a few exclusive, first-look pictures that I think you'd really like.
Would love to share them with you and have you involved in spreading the word about City of Ember as much as possible!
I hope posting on your blog did not overstep any bounds.
Look forward to talking with you soon!
Best,
