Enjoyable book as an adult, although intended for later grade school or middle/high school I'd guess; the lead characters are 12 years old.

I recently saw the movie and enjoyed it.

The general plot is that there was an unnamed catastrophe looming, and an underground city was built with the intent of people staying 200 years and reemerging. 250 years go by, and the city is wearing out (generator wearing out, supplies of canned food, light bulbs, etc. running low). A girl stumbles upon the instructions to exit the city, and struggles to piece them together since her toddler sister chewed up the paper and parts of the words are missing.
