Description de l’éditeur
A prequel to the modern-day classic The City of Ember. This highly acclaimed adventure series has captivated kids and teachers alike for almost fifteen years and has sold over 3.5 MILLION copies!
Nickie will grow up to be one of the first citizens of the city of Ember. But for now, she’s an eleven-year-old girl whose father was sent away on some mysterious government project.
So when the opportunity to move presents itself, Nickie seizes it. But her new town of Yonwood, North Carolina, isn’t what she’d anticipated. It’s a place full of suspicion and mistrust, where one person’s visions of fire and destruction have turned the town’s citizens against each other. Nickie explores the oddities around her—her great-grandfather’s peculiar journals, 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. Or is it already too late to avoid a devastating war?

Awesome
These ember series are awesome!!! They are very good stories!!!!
Loved the city of ember, hated this book
Skip this book, nothing to do with the first two or the last. I remember reading reviews saying to skip it and I thought they were just being Whiney and entitled. Nope, I was so wrong, this book doesn't even belong in this series, it's a political novel focusing on kids growing up during a fictional cold war. No returning characters, and no relevance to the other books.
The prophet of yonwood
