Series: The City of Ember

Mega-bestselling and critically acclaimed Books of Ember, now beautifully repackaged for a new generation of readers!

Before there was Ember...there was

Yonwood. Discover the prophecy that started it all in this prequel to the The

City of Ember-a modern-day

classic with over 4 MILLION copies sold!

Nickie will grow up to be one of the first

citizens of the city of Ember. But for now, she is a girl who has just moved

to the town of Yonwood. There, she discovers a place full of suspicion, where

one citizen's visions of fire and destruction have turned everyone against

each other. Eager to take her mind off her father's absence as he works on a

mysterious government project, Nickie reads her great-grandfather's peculiar

journals, spies on a reclusive neighbor who studies the heavens, and meets a

strange boy who is fascinated with snakes- all while keeping an eye out for

trouble. But is it already too late to avoid a devastating war?
