![]() I kept guessing as to what the second and third pairs of eyes would do (only one of which we got answered). I was on the edge of my seat and could not put the book down, instantly wanting more as soon as I finished (and luckily a sequel will be published later this year!). Peter’s adventures and heroic actions are phenomenal. This book created an incomparable experience for me in that regard and I commend Auxier’s brilliance with doing so. However, as you now know, Peter is blind! This adds a whole new element to Auxier’s story because a majority of the time I was reading, I was imagining the story through Peter’s eyes - which cannot see! I was just envisioning darkness and relying on my other senses to experience the story. The story then picks up pace quite rapidly and takes us to a whole other world through the first set of eyes Peter tries - and it is so well written that it actually feels like you’re there experiencing it with Peter. Auxier gets readers to quickly connect with and root for Peter as he is not a bad child, just a misguided one. The story started out in our world with your typical ten-year-old boy, you know, one who was blinded by ravens and is now a common thief. Review: This book sounds weird - and it is - but that’s what makes it great! Its so unique and unlike anything that I had read prior, but in the best way possible. Along with his loyal sidekick Sir Tode (a knight who was cursed and is now half-horse and half-cat), Peter must save the Vanished Kingdom from its evil king, all while discovering his true identity and allowing his destiny to unfold. Each of these eyes have a special power they give to Peter when he puts them in, and, as a result of these eyes, he gets taken on a magical journey. On one of his heists, he steals a mysterious box from a traveling haberdasher containing three sets of magical eyes. ![]() Summary: Blinded by ravens when just a newborn, ten-year-old Peter Nimble has grown up blind - and a thieving orphan. ![]()
