![]() 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.
