[The Prophet of Yonwood] by Jeanne DuPrau
The Book of Ember Book #3
2.5
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.I needed a book for a challenge and my reading buddy, Brian, needed a book for a school book report so we decided to read this one together. Brian loved it but I found the story started well but fell flat before I even got to the middle. One of the biggest faults I found with the book was the lack of plot development. I can't be too critical though. It gave me my challenge book and gave Brian a great adventure.
