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. From the Hardcover edition. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Exactly why is this in the middle of the series???After mowing through the City of Ember and People of Sparks I was geared up to reading another great book in this series. However, this book is a prequel. It SHOULD NOT be the 3rd book in the series. If you are hoping to read the next adventures of Lina and Doon don't look here. This book have very strong messages/meaning with the people of Yonwood and their belief in right and wrong. Trouble is the entire town is letting one person make dramatic decisions for them. The best I ... Read More Rating: - Very disappointing - Doesn't fit with the first two books.This book feels like an early book the author had written and couldn't get published. A forced tie-in at the end does not make this a third Ember book. I'm not falling for another one. Too bad. Doon and Lina's adventures in the first two book were captivating. This one just lacks. - Sorry - Rating:  - Not like the other books in the series.I agree with the other reviewers that "The Prophet" is unlike the other books in the Ember series. However, that doesn't mean it wasn't a good book. . . just different. I thought the story was very well written and included a lot of good moral lessons for young people. Rating:  - Would be OK outside of the series...The Earth is on the apparent verge of Apocalypse, the United States President issues daily warnings related to latent Galactic threats. 11-year old Nickie comes to small town of Yonwood, trying to achieve her three goals: 1. Keep Yonwood as her new home, 2. Fall in love, 3. Save the world. It sounds like a normal teenager's "to-do list" - and like a beginning of a good story. But that's essentially where the story of Ember stops, and where begins the cautionary tale about ... Read More Rating:  - Great addition to the books of emberI enjoyed it. I wish It had included a certain letter that I read in another Ember book. Now I have to hunt for this book again, to fill in the blank... But a fun read. I love these books.
