In this prequel to 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.
War looms on the horizon as eleven-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. As the people scramble to make sense of the woman's mysterious utterances, Nickie explores the oddities she finds around the town, 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?
