The Prophet of Yonwood

The Third Book of Ember

De: Jeanne DuPrau

Narrado por: Becky Ann Baker

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.©2006 Jeanne DuPrau; (P)2006 Random House, Inc.

A great prequel, this is a great series. I love it

The performance with accents made it very enjoyable. The author does a great job making the books tie together.

awesome prequel, tells more to the story

loved it. one of the best books I've read. give it 5 stars. best book

Its not as good as the other three books

I found the book hard to get into at first. I listened to the other three books before this one and was somewhat disappointed it strayed away from the original characters. The one thing that was interesting was at the end it kind of connected this book to the other three.

Perfect

This is an amazing book! It teaches beautiful lessons and taught my daughter to love the world. She has a hard time reading and this is perfect for her! This book has astonishing surprises around every corner and a good lesson.

Good Storytelling

I mean, what can I say, it’s good storytelling. Apparently there’s a word limit, oh well.
