    About Project F

    From the New York Times 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.

    “A thoughtful, urgent meditation on the origins and dangers of climate change.” —Shelf Awareness, Starred Review

    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: 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 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 readers 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.
