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.

Good i enjoyed it but not as much as the first and second one

Interesting

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
wasn't expecting this feeling while reading, just a slight feeling of suspense and thoroughly enjoyed it though but I'm not sure it should be classed as third book in the series more of a bonus feature.

suspense

Strangely I found this book easier to listen to than reading it. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration. A good listen.

Great addition to the City of Ember books.

I'm loving the series but I have auditory processing disorder so the extra background sounds make it hard to process what's actually being said. other than that it's good

story, background noises bad
