Peter Nimble and His Fantastic EyesPeter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes
Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes is the utterly beguiling tale of a ten-year-old blind orphan who has been schooled in a life of thievery. One fateful afternoon, he steals a box from a mysterious traveling haberdasher&;a box that contains three pairs of magical eyes. When he tries the first pair, he is instantly transported to a hidden island where he is presented with a special quest: to travel to the dangerous Vanished Kingdom and rescue a people in need. Along with his loyal sidekick&;a knight who has been turned into an unfortunate combination of horse and cat&;and the magic eyes, he embarks on an unforgettable, swashbuckling adventure to discover his true destiny.
&;Jonathan Auxier&;s strange and inventive debut, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, is a beautiful adventure told in a dashing and assured voice. It&;s Little Nemo in Slumberland meets Oliver Twist. I enjoyed it tremendously.&; &;Audrey Niffenegger, author of the bestseller The Time Traveler&;s Wife
