Nickie will grow up to be one of the first citizens of the city of Ember. But for now, she is a girl who has just moved to the town of Yonwood. There, she discovers a place full of suspicion, where one citizenâs visions of fire and destruction have turned everyone against each other. Eager to take her mind off her fatherâs absence as he works on a mysterious government project, Nickie reads her great-grandfatherâs peculiar journals, spies on a reclusive neighbor who studies the heavens, and meets a strange boy who is fascinated with snakesâ all while keeping an eye out for trouble.
