Product details

The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne DuPrau is set about 50 years before the establishment of the City of Ember, focusing on an 11-year-old girl named Nickie who visits the small town of Yonwood, North Carolina. The story takes place during a time of global crisis with the threat of nuclear war looming. Within Yonwood, a woman known as the Prophet has a terrifying vision of destruction, which leads to a strict and oppressive enforcement of moral rules by a local woman, Mrs. Beeson. Mrs. Beeson uses the Prophet's mumbled warnings to impose harsh restrictions on the townspeople, justified as necessary to prevent the impending disaster.

Key Features

As the town descends into fear and authoritarian control, Nickie begins to question the blind obedience demanded by Mrs. Beeson and starts to trust her own judgment about right and wrong. The narrative explores themes of fear, loss of civil liberties, manipulation, and the importance of individual conscience during times of political and social crisis. Ultimately, Nickie’s actions and growing awareness contribute to challenging the oppressive atmosphere, and the crisis is averted. The novel serves as a prequel to the Ember series, providing background on the world before the underground cities and emphasizing the human cost of fear-driven control.
