Publisher's Summary
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.

It gets better every time
Ten thousand out of ten. I have listened to this since I was 5, so (does math in head) I’ve listened to this 1000 times. I don’t like that Althea🏙️ dies. Also I just realized this, after 5 YEARS(1000 times) of hearing this. If you have not listened to the city of ember or the people of sparks yet, don’t read on unless you want a spoiler.Anyway, near the end of this book Nicky says she wrote a journal, and near the end of the city of ember, and beginning of the people of sparks, Dune and Lina read a journal. The journals were on the same spot, near the river, I just realized that they were the SAME JOURNAL!!! (I guess I’m officially an idiot and stupid.)
