The book is set in Zimbabwe 200 years in the future but we learn about traditional
native lives in the Resthaven section. The children of an important man are kidnapped
from a trip to town by a talking blue monkey and his owner.
The result is a set of adventures in a plastic mine of an old trash dump,
in a community of traditional tribal natives, with an English horse lady
and finally with the dreaded Masks.
All the time the mutated title characters Eye, Ear ... Read More

I was expecting an amazing story from a Newbery Honor Book, but I just couldn't get into this one. The structure of the future world was interesting and unusual, and the story concept (3 kidnapped children who have to use their wits to survive) is a good one. This could have been an awesome book, but it was dragged down by several problems.

Can they rescue the children and bring them back to their wealthy ... Read More

I borrowed this book from my 6th-grade daughter, who had borrowed it so many times from her classroom library that the teacher told her to keep it. I was drawn in immediately by the characters and their setting, and it got better from there. I've now read this book at least three times, and keep my eyes open for every new book -- each so different from the others -- that Farmer writes. I've enjoyed them all.

This is a wonderful children's story, woven with myths and legends from Africa. It is a tale of a secret walled garden, three special children, a man-child, a holy innocent who helps to guide them, and three detectives Ear, Arm and Eye who help to track the children down.
It is the story of becoming, and of belonging, and of finding your place and purpose in the world. Incredibly well-written, it will keep most non-readers glued to the pages.
