The Prophet of Yonwood

By: Jeanne DuPrau

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.

No luck for me today, I'll have to come back and try again.

Definitely not a 1.5 anymore. Maybe with more light on another day.

This trail has had its' share of caches over the years. Many get picked up as trash, if they're not camouflaged. Found this after a brief search. Hid better than when I found it. TFTC!

I agree with Vega in their assessment of the cache placement. I made this harder than it needed to be. Great to see more Ft. Collins hides. SL TFTC

{FTF} I saw this one come up this morning but I didn't expect to be FTF. Just happened to be in the are at the right time. It's not real obvious at first and then when you see it you think that should have been easy. Coordinates are right on. Signed the empty log and replaced the cache. Keep up the good coordinate locations. Thanks for the cache 3 Voyagers.
