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.

story, background noises bad
I'm loving the series but I have auditory processing disorder so the extra background sounds make it hard to process what's actually being said. other than that it's good

Great addition to the City of Ember books.
Strangely I found this book easier to listen to than reading it. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration. A good listen.

Waste of time
Nothing to do with the first two stories apart from the last 8 minutes. Don't waste your time on this 'fill in' book.

Not much to do with the otjetw books, except for the last 5 min
While in my opinion books 1 & 2 are very good, books 3 and 4 (this one) built a story around not much, and lack the depth of the underlying facts behind the first one. I don't know much of writing, but I belive a prequel should have a strong connection with the books it precedes. This is not the case for this one, where the link is only made on the very last chapter

Dragged
Was hoping for more, but the book dragged on to the point where I gave up listening to it.
