The Prophet of Yonwood is by Jeanne DuPrau. The third book Book of Ember is really a prequel to the first book. Eleven-year-old Nickie and her aunt go to Yonwood, North Carolina to see about the sale of a family home. Nickie discovers one of the town women has had a vision of the end of the world and has become known as "the Prophet" whose every saying must be obeyed. Is her vision correct? Is the world really on the brink of destruction? Just because a person wants to do good, does that mean everything they do is good? A wonderful story of a child's battle to understand good and evil and the gray area in between.
Ratings: 7th grade - 8 out of 10.
