Ember, a fire person, needed to make a delivery to Element City, away from Firetown. Ember, adventurous and brave usually, was worried about leaving Firetown. She did not want to let her customer down, so she started out to Element. Ember ran into some difficult situations on her journey and almost gave up. She meet a friend who helped her out while showing Ember the City of Element. Ember was able to see Element in a new way and still achieve her goal.

Illustrations in A City For Everyone are very modern and space-like. The colors are vivid and bright. The characters are a bit odd, but if the reader has seen the movie, the characters might make more sense. The text is simple and to the point and does teach a small amount about the different elements. Without seeing the movie, the book does not make sense. The appeal of City For Everyone is to read the book BECAUSE the movie had been previously viewed.
