Based on Disney and Pixar's Elemental, this charming middle grade novel retells and expands on the story of the film!

Element City is a vibrant place full of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air Elements living and working together. Ember Lumen, a Fire Element, hopes to take over her family's shop one day. She is perfectly content to stay in her neighborhood of Firetown—everything she needs is right there. She has no need to venture into the chaotic city that is often challenging for Fire people like her. But one day, an accident at the shop brings Wade Ripple, a go-with-the-flow Water Element, into Ember's life. The two are literally and figuratively opposites in every way. 

As they get to know each other, though, Ember and Wade see a new world of possibilities, and they begin to wonder if they are so different after all. . . .
