The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne Duprau

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
While this book is listed as the third Book of Ember, it is actually a prequel of sorts to The City of Ember and The People of Sparks. The main character in this story is Nickie, a girl of twelve, who is going with her aunt Crystal to help get her great-grandfather's house, Greenhaven, cleaned out and ready to sell. This house is in the small town of Yonwood. One of Yonwood's citizens, Althea Tower, has had a vision of the cataclysmic end of the world, and after falling into a coma-like state becomes known as the Prophet, whom the citizens believe is giving them instructions on how to avoid the end of the world that she has seen. Nickie has three goals when she gets to Yonwood: to convince her aunt to keep Greenhaven, to fall in love, and to help the world. To find out if she achieves her goals, read this fantasy adventure story.
