About this product

Product Information

It's 50 years before the settlement of the city of Ember, and the world is in crisis. War looms on the horizon as 11-year-old Nickie and her aunt travel to the small town of Yonwood, North Carolina. There, one of the town's respected citizens has had a terrible vision of fire and destruction. Her garbled words are taken as prophetic instruction on how to avoid the coming disaster. If only they can be interpreted correctly. . . . As the people of Yonwood scramble to make sense of the woman's mysterious utterances, Nickie explores the oddities she finds around town--her great-grandfather's peculiar journals and papers, a reclusive neighbor who studies the heavens, a strange boy who is fascinated with snakes--all while keeping an eye out for ways to help the world. Is this vision her chance? Or is it already too late to avoid a devastating war? In this prequel to the acclaimed The City of Ember and The People of Sparks, Jeanne DuPrau investigates how, in a world that seems out of control, hope and comfort can be found in the strangest of places.

  • The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne Duprau (2006)

    Wonderful read, if not a little daunting. The similarities between the world portrayed within the Prophet and ours today are astounding, and rightly so I would say. I really liked Nickie and Grover. The echo of Doon and Lina's relationship was obvious, but it was definitely a different dynamic and I enjoyed it. The religious undertones were interesting, as I had not noticed them in DuPrau's earlier stories. There were times when I became frustrated with Nickie's naiveté, but overall I found her desire to do good charming. I enjoyed this glimpse into life before Ember. However, I do wish we had been able to see more of Nickie in her older age, heard more of her story when she was entering and living in Ember.

  • A Must Read

    This book is a great part of the Ember series. I actually read this one first because I knew it was a preguel. Jeanne Duprau is very cool and actually answers her email. She suggests to read them in order of publication. I suggest BUYING all four books in the Ember series as they are extremely well written and very entertaining. Great for all ages!

  • Interesting prequel to the City of Ember

    My 11 year son and I both read this book last week. We enjoyed it. Duprau seems to make a good point in each of her stories. This story dealt with the consequences of blindly following after one person. It is a very thought provoking story. This story doesn't bridge it's way to "The City Of Ember" until the very end.

  • Confused...At First

    I bought this book hoping that it would continue the story of The City of Ember, and The People of Sparks....however it does not. It actually takes place before the the people even move into the City of Ember. The story was good in and of itself...and if you keep reading to the end, you will learn how this story relates to the other two books.

  • A Very Entertaining Read

    This is the third book in the series though it is a prequel to The City of Ember. It is very easy to read--a quick read--and still quite enjoyable. A solid buy.
