#14: The Prophet of Yonwood

On our mini vacation this weekend we listened to The Prophet of Yonwood by Jean DuPrau on audio book.  This is the 3rd book in the Ember series.

This book did not have the same characters as the first 2 Ember books, since this is a type of prequel.  It is about a girl named Nicki who goes to stay with her aunt in Yonwood, CT in her's great grandfather's house.  He has recently died and her aunt is getting the house ready to sell.  In the book, Nicki meets some interesting characters in Yonwood including a "Prophet" who is believed to tell the city how to avoid some type of futuristic disaster.

It was really funny to see the way the characters behaved in the book.  Poor Nicki was very torn on what to believe and how to act.  I liked the change that was seen in Nicki throughout the book.

I can't really say too much more without giving it away.  It was a pretty good story.  We really didn't see how it fit with the other Ember books until the very end.  I am excited to listen to the next one soon.
