Publisher's summary

From the bestselling author of The City of Ember comes a post-apocalyptic story set hundreds of years in the future, where life is simple and modern conveniences are a thing of the past until a boy enchanted by technology is forced to choose between doing the right thing for his community and pursuing his dreams of adventure.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE.

There are no cars, planes, television, or smart phones. Climate change wreaked havoc on Earth hundreds of years ago, and now people live a simpler life.

Then thirteen-year-old Keith uncovers a secret. It’s a mysterious mission known only as Project F. It’s advanced, it’s scientific, and it’s going to change the world. It’s exactly the kind of adventure Keith has always longed to be a part of.

And what is adventure without a little danger, right? But how much danger is Keith willing to risk? For himself? For his family? For his community? For the entire world…?

Jeanne DuPrau's The City of Ember was an instant hit when it arrived on bookshelves. It has become a modern classic beloved by listeners selling hundreds of thousands of copies a year! In her latest novel, she explores timely questions about the Earth and our use of its resources. A bold novel, Project F asks how much you are willing to risk to save the future.

Critic reviews

"A compelling, nostalgic-feeling story exploring contemporary issues in a futuristic setting." —Kirkus Reviews

"DuPrau crafts a postapocalyptic adventure that reads like a cautionary tale about climate change, technology, and unchecked progress." —Publishers Weekly

"The author of the popular City of Ember series is back with a story that comments on the dangers of global climate change and reliance on fossil fuels. Middle-graders who like their books short and fast-moving will enjoy this imaginative piece of cli-fi." —Booklist"

I wish I could blacklist narrators

I could only make it about 20 minutes into the book. The narrator reads everything like it's the most tragic event that could have happened. Her droning, doomed voice reading out "Looking out the window, he had never been more excited" really takes you out of the story.
